for appu...

on a sunny afternoon..on a windless road...

appu walks like a "king" amidst onlookers in hoards..

swinging his dusky tail left n right..

3 dozen bananas in 3 mins...coz my appu doesnt diet ;p

when those mighty ears my appu flaps...

the children around squeal,squeak n clap!

sticking a cane to his aged skin-appu's mahout...

sittin atop...haughty, vain n stout!

an auntie gives 20 bucks.."feed him some sugarcane juice!"

"oh yes oh yes" ,the greedy mahout blurts..reeking of booze!

unaware of his master's greed..

unaware of the exploitation unleashed on his breed...

appu plays, prances,swings his tail...

blesses those who feed him,tappin heads with a trunk thats so frail....:(

how i wish dear appu i cud take you somewhere..

away from this urban jungle into nature's care...

i wonder how much i cud pay your master to set u free...

to see you plodding under your beloved banana trees..

to see you get back to the wild..

n play havoc in da river..splashin like a child...

for your innocent eyes..wrinkled trunk..swingin tail n yes your diet too...

this ones to let you know how much i adore u appu..:)
