Humpty’s Redemption

 


Humpty’s Redemption

 

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

 

Humpty was shattered, filled with regret,

He knew, soon, him they would forget,

Resigning to this fate, he knew was wrong,

So, he made a decision, Humpty was strong.

 

Putting himself together wasn’t going to be easy,

But, to start with what he had was the key,

So, with utmost love and patient care,

He got to work, without much fanfare.

 

Slowly, he climbed again, up the wall,

There he sat with pride, still standing tall,

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Couldn't believe they were seeing Humpty again.

 

Since then, every scar he wore with pride,

A testimony, to his spirit that never died,

Now his heart is at peace with itself,

Happy, that he did not give up on himself.

    Much better than the original one. You've added so much meaning and inspiration to it. Loved it. Hope the next time I read Humpty's poem in school, it is this new version.

An Apology that Matters

“I’m sorry,” said John in a baritone voice. “Along the way, you had chances to mend your ways too. Didn’t you?” “Yes,” he replied gruffly. “What’s an old man supposed to do though?” “You weren’t always this way,” he sighed. “From me to you I guess we had our share of mistakes. Will you be able to forgive me?” John sobbed like a child. “I am the one who should seek forgiveness,” he said gruffly.    Andrew was slyly watching his father through a slightly open door. Tears ran down his cheeks as he saw his father shift personalities and voices to talk to himself. “I think that’s enough,” he announced. The sight of his old father sobbing alone was too much for him to bear. “No, wait,” said the Doctor and held his arm. “Let him be.” “Can’t you see, Doc,” cried Andrew. “He is such a mess. I want to go in, I want to hold him, just like he held me when I wept as a child.” “I understand your feelings,” said the Doctor. “But it’s important to let him be. Trust me, I wil...

Welcome, Spiderman.

As the law and order situation in India and on the streets of its metros continued to remain a cause for concern the authorities decided its time to call upon an international superhero. So they managed to get in touch with Peter Parker who responded and Spiderman was on his way to India. He decided his first city would be Mumbai. His flight landed in Mumbai and he made for the immigration counter much impressed by by T2. At the immigration counter he handed over his passport to the officer who had a big smile on his face. "You and me brothers. You Parker, me too Parkar. Hahaha", laughed the officer. "Lame", Peter thought as he smiled back. Immigration done, he proceeded to his hotel. The next day as Peter was taking a walk around his hotel when he heard the cry of a woman. "He's running away with my purse", she shouted. "Time for action", thought Peter. He went into an alley and changed into Spiderman costume. Running out of the alley he ...

Before the break of dawn his flight landed at Mumbai international airport. Naresh’s son, Vijayant, was waiting to receive him. “Welcome, dad,” he greeted his father. “So good to see you, son.” “Same here, dad. It’s been so long since you last visited.” “I love the countryside, Vijay. You know that.” “Yes,” replied Vijayant. “Come, let’s go home. Aarti and Aakash are eagerly waiting for you.” They drove out and reached home with the rising sun appearing over the horizon. The door opened within seconds of them ringing the doorbell. “ Dadu !” yelled Aakash and leapt on Naresh. “It’s so good to see you, Aakash,” said Naresh as he held his grandson in a warm embrace. Aarti walked out of the kitchen and touched his feet. “Always be happy,” Naresh blessed his daughter in law. “Thank you,” she replied. “Good to see you, dad. Freshen up, breakfast is ready. It’s been so long since we all ate together.” Naresh made himself comfortable at the dining table. “Your favourite Aloo pa...
