​Mosquitoes & The Tale of a Tail... (A Humorous Poem) 🦟

I was lost in the world of my mobile screen,

When a mosquito hummed a tune, tiny and mean.

I raised my hand to shoo it away,

But the stubborn guest returned to stay!

I didn't want to let my mobile go,

And my hands had no time for this tiny foe.

Suddenly I thought— "Oh, if only I had a tail!"

I’d wag it hard and make that mosquito fail!

In my heart, I questioned the Lord above—

"Why didn't You give me a tail with love?

With a tail, I’d flick every mosquito away,

Right now, even cows have a better day!

Cows, buffaloes, and dogs enjoy their tail-power,

While mosquitoes haunt me every single hour.

I have to swallow pills for Malaria and Dengue,

While the buffalo stays fit, without any remedy!"

Then, a Divine Voice echoed in my ear—

"Quiet, oh girl! Have you no shame to fear?

Along with two hands, I gave you a 'Brain' so bright,

That poor buffalo stands on four legs day and night,

You're jealous of her tail? Look, her neck is tied tight!"

Hearing such a stinging taunt from the Divine,

I decided to stay quiet and stay in line.

I locked myself inside the mosquito net, quite grand,

'Nishabd' I became, with a silence no one planned. 🤫
