The Seriously Funny Man

By ALIASGAR MANSUR KHAMBATI

He has a body, bulging everywhere but the chest,

He has a mind, to put your stress to complete rest.

He has eyes, so bright, so keen, so curious,

He has a temperament; you’ll seldom find him furious.

He has a character, so fit to be The President,

He isn’t near, alas, coz he is a Non-Resident!

He is so sarcastic, a true humorist gambler,

He gets overexcited in absurdity; he is his own handler.

He has a nose for double meanings, interpret them wildly,

He warns; do not snort prematurely, he doesn’t take it kindly.

He has many emotions; just enough to fill a spoon,

He can torment with his humour, a friend or a goon.

He has long skinny legs; making many a long stride,

He has a heart made of gold, hardly with gloat or pride.

He is among those who is at help and never says ‘no’,

He can hold your hand, laugh and cry with you; never let you go.

He has ears as eager and sharp as a rabbit,

He keeps you entertained, that is just his habit.

He has a charm, a wit and style, you’ll surely become his fan,

He always has a twinkle in his eye; he is seriously a funny man!
