When four chirpy birds chirp near my workstation.

When four chirpy birds chirp near my workstation
It feels like a sale market and a simili to a railway station
From chicken recipies to a sigle flower in a bouquet
From the ghost and tattoos to badminton rackets.

They plan dinner during the breakfast time
And prefer adding sugar in the lime
They complain but never about time
And for my ears it is an interesting mime

Serial killers, suicide points, bitter gourd with typical smell
Dogs, cats, weird frog or prawns or snails with shell
They discuss Goa, Kolkatta and the blankets and rugs
Real estate, Paris Labrador and pugs

Chicken, mutton, potato and cabbage
Diet plans, weight issues, gyms and money racket
Cricket, Dhoni, Ambani and Antilla,
Beer, Breezer, whiskey and tequilla.

Shahrukh, Brad Pitt, Popeye or Spongy Bob
Madhuri, Angelina and the American George
Lalu, Prince, Commandos and Pune fair
Preserve these birds these species are rare.

I wished there was an end of topics in this world
They straighten their hair and also like it curled
Log off time, they are ready to run out off the door
Managing work as well resting by the sea shore.
