A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
- King Solomon
The above is rightly said, Sir,
But my case is to be taken in reverse order.
Everything, monotonous or nonsensical, seems to be fun with you;
My partner in every crime,
Our sources of pleasure shan't go past their prime,
Your sense of humour, oh boy,
Make my nasolacrimal duct secrete tears of joy.
But my case is to be taken in reverse order.
Everything, monotonous or nonsensical, seems to be fun with you;
The drives with the stars twinkling overhead, to the sea shores,
Or even other things as mere as household chores,
Or even other things as mere as household chores,
Times of regret reckoned, seem very few.
My partner in every crime,
Our sources of pleasure shan't go past their prime,
Your sense of humour, oh boy,
Make my nasolacrimal duct secrete tears of joy.
As multitalented as ever,
Mastered the knack of growing forever,
A Playwright or an actor, an able speaker or singer,
You're all of it, everything at the tip of your finger.
Saviour, you are, rescuing from each trouble,
Helping me climb every sort of hill,
Dravid may be Mr.Dependable for the Indian cricket team,
But to support our roof, you're the only required beam.
Home without you, indeed quite silent,
Nobody to quarrel with, none with whom I can be violent,
Arguments have grown rarer, on the petty decisions to be made,
Like those between Pizza Hut and Domino's; they've all started to fade.
Like those between Pizza Hut and Domino's; they've all started to fade.
And today, on your 21st,
I pray that all your worries begin to rust,
Strength, to toil in every field,
In order to multiply your yield.
