My forty winks

In Irrawati, at half past one
Premise :lunch just done

Settled in for a program introduction,
albeit with an uneasy sensation
When the TL kick started his presentation,
My mind started going into hibernation

Mind warned: Manager's sitting right here!!
Heart said: Swtich off, what's the fear?

Heart, as usual, conquered the mind
Blissfully in the dreams,myself i find.

Not until my head starts lolling
Do i realise i was sleeping.
Thank god, i do not snore
Else, I'd have been shown the door.

Shook myself up and went for a walk
Got back and did some talk-talk
When nothing helped, i started to write
Lo and behold, a poet has arrived! :P

    Manager might be in a dilemna 'whether to hibernate or to act as if listening infront of the Engineers'!! Everyone except the TL will be in their dreams for sure. :)

    Thank you!
    And the manager has no choice but to act as if he is listening! :D

    @Anusha
    I found this to be the best way of keeping myself up! And it works in shirking off the sleep too! Perhaps, from now on, i'll stick to putting some creativity to work during such meetings!

    @Bharat
    Shukriya! :D

  5. I can see all possibilities of you becoming a renowned poetess some day in future provided you attend the meetings too often...[:P]
