Dear Mama, Wish You Many Many Happy Returns

Poem dedicated to Ashok Mama, one of my dearest uncles, for his 64th birthday today:

Dear Mama, many many happy returns

One of the best uncles

An amazing conversationalist

A fantastic cricket enthusiast

Forever entertaining us

With a variety of anecdotes

Your mere presence, killing boredom

With you around, total freedom

To discuss anything and everything

You’re so, so happening!

Dear Mama, many many happy returns

Still remembering those days

When we used to discuss Christie murder mysteries

Your snake encounters

Having four rasagollas for lunch

Politics, maybe not so much

Nevertheless, enough to be remembered

Every single conversation, to be treasured!!

Dear Mama, many many happy returns

May this be one of your top birthdays

Yes, you’ve suffered a few recent losses

But you’re stronger than most of us

And remain steadfast in your prayers

Therefore, you deserve a lot more happiness

Not to mention, mental peace

For now though, just cherish your special day

Again, wish you a very very happy birthday!!
