I can & I will

I Can and I will!!

I will have an extra scoop of ice-cream or one more fat burger,

I can surf internet till 4.00am and sleep till noon,

I can forget birthdays and anniversaries and for that matter even names,

I am happy to stand in senior citizens’ queue,

I can drink or eat in the bed, and I do not care to control body noises,

Not Lady Gaga, Justin Beaver, but Frank Sinatra, Boney M are for me,

‘Here is Lucy’ still entertains me and so does ‘Sound of Music’,

It doesn’t bother me if I cannot send SMS, but I still miss pager,

My literature is ‘Archie Comics’ but I also love Ayn Rand and John Steinbeck,

My travels do not have itineraries, nor has fixed hotel bookings,

I can have one way ticket to anywhere, with no fixed plans for return  

I do blunder in social etiquettes or paper works, but at my age

I have earned rights to be wrong!!!

I don’t care for Grey hair & Wrinkled skin,

I don’t care for Cholesterol & sugar,

I don’t care for bones and joints,

I know my appointment with HIM is fixed,

I don’t want to mess with that,

But till then

I want to live my life,

I have seen good people, hard working people dying,

I have seen them leaving after toiling for life time,

I do not like that,

When I die,

None might shed tears, feel sorry and none might miss me,

But

I want none to pity me for not ‘Living’ my life
