Forwards in my mailbox!

My mailbox is my private space
When I log on, I open it to see
Who all have been thinking of me?
And who all want to interface?

Has Zoroo’s dog been potty trained?
When is Suparna to Egypt flying?
O what terrible news is this?
Arun’s dad is ill, he’s dying!

I read that my son’s missing home
My aunt tells me her daughter’s visiting Rome
Arvind has a new idea for a table
Vivek has written a brand new fable.

Roopie sends me a ‘middle’ to edit
Sera tell she has more carbon credits
Parul decided to put on some weight
Gupi’ dad’s getting an ornate gate.

Guna’s telling to come for marathon
Avyy’s got a new girl, he’s love lorn
Mansi’s looking for a job desperately
‘Where ARE you?’ writes Guna irately

Aha! Today my box is full of unread mails
5 from Jaya, 8 from Gupi, one from Guna, I see
Manmohan sends me 3 and here Supreet hails
Sesh writes after long and 2 from Gracie.

Everyone’s got lots of news to give
People want to share their lives with me
What all’s been happening in their worlds
I settle before the computer to see.

What’s Manmohan have to say?
He’s talking about the benefits of a BANANA?
Then he recommends that I do
20 Surya Namaskaars in a day!

Gupi’s sent a dancing chameleon
Pics of dogs dressed in party suits
And then he’s also sent to me
Amazing bridges built of roots.

Roopie’s decided to be academic
He’s sent an article from Guardian
Very educative, I must confess
About the origins of the Accordion

Sesh sent some funny visuals
I laughed at 3, smiled at the next 6
Read through the next 10, and was replete
(Sorry Sesh, now I’m pressing ‘DELETE’)

‘The Positive Approach’ tells Sumit
‘What is Love?’ educated Jaya
‘Animals in Funny Situations’ bleats Baljeet
‘There’s always a Better Way’ propounds Vijaya

Did I want to know about ‘Waste art’?
Never mind, I do now
Do I need ‘Lessons from Life’?
Sure, while I download ‘The Laughing Cow’

Can someone tell me how they’re doing?
Give updates on their life, their job, their health?
Whom they are wooing, what they are ruing?
Have they added to experience, to family, to wealth?

I tell you guys, I’m DONE with forwards
Mail ONLY when you have something to say
Else I’ll send you forwards that’ll bring bad luck
If you don’t forward a thousand TODAY!!!
