The Road Trip


When the five of us met at my sisters pet-

Madison is its name which has given us all the fame

Add to it a graduation so unique that it makes others look so meek


We drove thru the rain with ameet at the rein

Never were we down, be it noon or dawn


OH what a state it is to see

The birthplace of aviation that flies high on sea

The lake with wave which makes oceans seem naive


The maid of the mist about which its hard to put in a jist

A tryst with nature that we’ll never forget, be it life or death


The American falls along with its Bride

Complimenting the Horseshoe with their pride


Being amidst families was a delight for a loner like me

That give their love and warmth like a cuppa hot tea


NY gets everyone’s envy for being the Big Apple

Where the twin towers still stand tall though reduced to a rubble


As the gaieties of a fortnight come to a close

It’s the time when we get morose


Amidst such feelings there is a thought which I reap

That I have miles to go before I sleep...

Bravo! Each stanza for a different phase (U.S. state) of our trip. So you sing well and write poetry - how can the lASSes at ASU resist you?

By the way, I find it hard to believe someone with 200+ orkut friends can be a loner :)
