“A BIT of my life”
The day I had been longing for,
It was 25th of October 2004
Wittingly looking around as aliens pass by
The place I was headed, rested until, a sly
Overwhelmed I was, I wore my best attire
Hoping the aliens will not get a chance to pass a satire
I watched my step as it touched inside of the portal
Through the gateway, which bored glorious and immortal.
Placed I was, to drive a vehicle with out a steer
That is what we do to become an engineer.
The mundane set in, away got my fear
Aliens transformed to whom I call “oh dear”
Busses sped around calling me on board
I had pleasure of my life holding on to the footboard
I gazed and gazed sampling my fate on the picks
Bus stop was the place where I hounded for chicks
Tests and assignments popped once in a while
Overseen too carefully to cheat and not to get on trial.
KJC, my lavish lounge where I dallied the cricket match,
Saturdays were the best, with home movies to watch.
Sprouted a local club, keyed as B-gang
Fabled it is now, as a song that we all sang.
I assayed my way through the GATE and to bell the CAT
Thanks to my aptitude, my back could not get a pat.
Cool was our corner, our bugles resounded high above the rock
Treks we set out, sipping out of an ace bottle of coke.
What was meant to be four years of education,
Appears to me as four days of vacation.
Nostalgic I am turning back the pages,
Can solely smile reading this chapter called “A BIT of my life”.

I read this poem, for it is a friend’s duty,
but all i saw was this amazing beauty.
All i can say, that i was dumbstruck,
wait i can say more, which is awestruck.
I cant praise much about this beautiful rhyme,
but i can say that it will sure outlast time!
