Between promotions and LinkedIn Connects, I get weird queries about wanting this and that. So a jolly good poem around this.

Poem: What is in a query?

What is in a query?

I am just a poet
A man of few words
Yet people ask me -
why don’t you pursue
another management degree

I write a few words
That may or may not seduce
Another query -
Why don’t you reduce
the operational cost
of your produce?

Another query-
this is a wild, wild dart
Dear Ashok
Dont you want
to get smarty smart?
You look like a
smiling cockroach
You could do better
with a personality coach
The dart missed me
by a long, long mile
All I can do is
Smile and smile.

Ah, another one -
You are our delight
Your words so bright
So-
can we build you
a fabulous website?

I don’t know
where to start
I just love my
little tryst with art
I have nothing to worry
For I smile and scroll away
after all-
what is in a query?
