Heart Gul, Croc the fool!

Well this was created about 7 years back. This may be a bit childish, but my sole intention is to make you smile a little. This is the story of the monkey and the crocodile, retold in a different way…

In the Land of Barbadistan,

Lived a monkey named Mastaan.

On the bank of river Sile,

Lived monkey’s friend Crocodile.

They were the best guy,

And for each other they could die.

Mastaan used to give Croc mango,

While they enjoyed doing Tango.

Like this days were going past,

It seemed their friendship will always last.

But fate had something else planned,

Enters into the story an evil mind.

Croc had a beautiful wife,

Whom he loved as much as his life.

Mastaan used to send mangoes for Bhabhiji,

Which she enjoyed with glee.

One day, she said, “O my darling!

Will you ever start thinking?”

“Your friend has such a sweet heart,

I worry he must have to part.”

Croc was frightened,

And shouted, ”But he is my friend!”

She said, “Bring me his heart fast

Or I’m your wife will be matter of past.”

Croc had no choice but to leave,

While his heart starts to grieve.

Now he started thinking of a plan,

How to bring monkey on the pan.

He went to Mastaan’s tree,

Where Mastaan gave him mango for free.

“I will have the mango later,

Come home with me for a dinner.”

Mastaan agreed to be his guest,

Thus begun their quest.

On Croc’s back sat Mastaan,

Singing all the way his favorite gaan.

Suddenly in the middle of the Sile,

Started crying the crocodile.

He told his friend about his compulsion,

Listening to which Mastaan had tension!

He said, “O my dear friend!

Your problem is at it’s end.

I will gladly give my heart away,

But I left it on the tree to stay.”

“Take me back to the shore,

And you will have to cry no more.”

The Croc agreed and swimmed back,

While Monkey patted his own back.

As they reached the shore,

Monkey knew he made his score,

He jumped back to the tree.

Now surely he was free.

Then he shouted, ”Can somebody live with his heart gul?

Never show me your face Croc the fool!”
