The Stray Dogs Mania

Midday peak hour

By lane near a school

The children moved with

Sordid burdens of bags

While beside a wall

Mating of dogs in action

Younger ones whispered

To moms, “Why do dog

Stretch opposite like

Running a rope race? “

Elder rouges winked

And giggled absurdly

Burst out in laughter

Animal lovers glad

To witness growth in progress

However, worried parents

The onlookers and the seniors

Frowned, grieved about

The obscenity, the cruelty

Of hurting innocents

Dirt on the pavements

Spreading deadly diseases

They all demanded

The killing of the strays

Which cause the deaths

Of thousands of people

Every year throughout

It’s a great pity

That after passing of

A bill allowing the killing of strays

By a Municipal Corporation

Was ironically turned

Down by the honorable

Apex Court.
