The sky isn't always blue

The following is a result of being jobless in insti for a sufficiently long time. I actually sorta gave up towards the end, when I realised that it is not going to end anytime soon :)

Have fun!


Ever saw the skies above
And wondered why they were blue?
Sit still then young lad,
For have I got a tale for you.

There lived an evil wizard long ago,
They said he spoke to the Gods.
Till one day, he was defeated by a prince
Against Herculean odds.

Before the wizard, the skies were white
The way they should have been.
Symbolising purity everywhere,
The world was nice and clean.

You know my son, behind every story,
There lies something tragic,
What could have been a normal life for the wizard,
Appeared to the masses as black magic.

In his youth,before he grew up
The Wizard was a budding musician,
"He's got talent", said a virgin recorder
"To be the next singing sensation"

And so it was, that the wizard
Decided to become an idol,
Ah!! But stage-fright got the most of him,
His voice made people homicidal.

He sang as if his nose was blocked
Squeaking in a high-pitched song
The people made a beeline for the door
The torment could not prolong!

Thus, the wizard got angry,
And started singing curses,
Till the people finally got fed up,
And started Showing him their asses.

The sight of the bare buttocks
Was enough to rile the wizard,
He promised he would return in seven years
And bring with him a blizzard.

The wizard went to the local bazaar
There,to the Gods, he tried to pray,
The people recognised him as the singer
And chased him without delay.

For 7 years, the wizard travelled,
Without food, without water he survived,
For 7 years, he studied the arcanes,
Till finally, the promised day arrived.

Seven years of devoted studying,
Helped him to write rhyming words,
One day,while fooling around with his rhymes,
His hair turned into birds.

He said,

"Eye of a newt,wing of a bat
I speak truth, remember that,
Doubt my words, and you'll regret it
Bad luck follows, don't forget it."

Wherever, the wizard travelled,
He made people misunderstand him
Bad things started to happen,
The situation became grim.

Finally, one day the wizard said
"Water flows from down to up".
The exact thing started happening,
Faster than you could say "Shlurp!"

Water, water everywhere
Except on terra firma,
"You people were bad to me
It's all bad karma."

The water spilled from the oceans
To the skies above,
The colours changed from white to blue
In a manner that was undreamed of.

Many heroes labored on
Trying to fight the wizard
He simply said, "You are an animal"
And they turned into a lizard.

The wise men said,

"Believe every word the wizard says
Doubt not him for a second.
Persist and you will emerge
Victorius" , they recokned.

One fruitful day, a prince emerged
As they generally do in such a story
This guy was smart and intelligent
And of course,he seeked eternal glory.

The prince stuffed cotton in his ears
And brought the wizard to a cliff,
The wizard said , "!@$#%@##"
Frankly, the prince could'nt hear a sniff!

But, in lonely valleys,sound
Has a nature to come back As an echo.
Here also,the same thing happened
The wizard turned into a gecko!

And so it was, that things
Became normal once more
The water fell down from the skies,
But the white changed to blue forever...

Pathetic though I am in maintaining my blog, I had this realisation that I didn't update it as often as I would have liked simply because the look of it was not that great.

Although I simply do not have the time/patience/enthu to actually custom design the various aspects of the blog, this template is a start in that direction I guess.

New look! Hope it'll inspire me , especially as I start a new chapter on foreign shores.
