The Stupid Nineteen !!

Grumble Mumble !! Grumble Mumble !!
Shut up, said I
And compile, one.. two... three and fault !
Again ! Heard again, my stomach's cry

Locked the screen, picked my keys
Pulled my pants and here I go
A pizza in mind, a paper in hand
Out I go, Out I go !

Arrives a crowded tram
Validate my card, and stand in peace
Look around... Oh ! so happy I am
Jingles, pringles, damsels and daisies :)

Tick Tock ! Tick Tick Tock !!
And voila ! Comes to a teasing halt
Pardon monsieur... and out I walk
Still in mind, a pizza, fish, cheese and salt

Walking around the RSC *
Cast an eye on my pizza spot
Quiet, calm, shit and pee !!!
Doors closed ! Shutters taut !

Struck my mind, saw the clock
Still 18 and not the Stupid Nineteen !!
Bordeaux, France, Rules and Fools !
I admire thee - O great IITB canteen !

Grumble Mumble ! Grumble Mumble !
Yes - my poor little stomach's cry!
With hope ahead
I walk ahead wanting to try

And here comes the crunch
A pasta to my right and a cheap pizza to my left
I do not take the road less travelled by
And neither the other - Ah ! My brain - quick and deft

Parcel the pizza
And try the pasta
My infinite dust bin no more with me
Leave half the pasta ! Off I go ! Au revoir ! Tata !

And back in my lab,
Orkut, gmail, buzz and blog
Something strange do i smell
Is it the pizza ! or a frog !!

Had a bite, cold and hard
Love the sauce, but not anymore
My greed had paid
Feelings I had, wanted to pour

Whom do I blame !
The Stupid Nineteen ?
Or my greedy tongue
O great passerby, put down your answer, big, bold, neat and clean !!!

Note: The following poem supposed to be visualized as being said by me to the author of the post.The visual does add a lot of meaning to the comment

Mon ami, what hath thee done?
Confused poetry and prose as one!

Aye, you hath made a mistake!

Mis-take it is, for you shalt see
the meaning of my decree!

Do not cry, Oh Son of the gentle-god!
Believe in ye and ye shalt be the lord!

I never knew you were only 18 year old.
