THE PRETEXT

Now we may have made you ween,

About making this whole thing a scene.

You will understand as I explain,

That we haven't done something in vain.

You may have given a thought,

"What's wrong with falling in love?"

But, ... ...…...

That's not the reason for our fraught,

We were worried about our beau.

He'd score A's in all the subjects,

Until he got diverted by folly objects.

Once he went off the pathway,

He'll be lost like a dust in the Milky Way.

It's arduous to bring him back to track,

We know because we've seen the crack.

Moreover, ...…... ...

It was our final year of school,

So, we couldn't let him play fool.

If he kept his focus on his arrear,

He shall lead a life with a great career.

It's the duty of a good friend,

To strive hard and to defend, 

His buddy from any cliff end,

That could become a dead-end.

A dead-end for the whole life.

Apart from this responsible view,

He had no idea on how to pursue.

So, why should we spur an emotion,

That lacks a proper foundation.
