Gainsay

a poem by Jayati

A start before
“Gainsay namoha”
To his mother
Be a first pet.
Breezy handsome
With his brother
Take a test of wit.
Journey begins.
Around the world
Peacock ride.
Prove to mother
Abilities his
Better is Ganesha
With his wisdom and rat.
Faster than Kartika
Spot, decide. Go around
Parents, he is bright.
The younger brother
Kartika
Returns to find
Lap of mother
By Ganesha clever
Much earlier occupied.
His argument
Cutting edge
Mother is world.
From begin to end.
Let us take our pledge.
