LIFE IS A BAR

Life is like a fun local bar
Located  in every bazar
Where everyone sits side by side
And not across the table wide
Where strangers converse candidly
Lacking commitments certainly

Life is like a fun local bar
Located in every bazar
We all have that specific seat
You all go there when someone cheats
You go there when you face defeat
Some go there when they are off beat

Life is like a fun local bar
Located in every bazar
You all go there to celebrate
Someone goes there on his first date
Some go there when they are graduate
You may come elated or gloomy
But all leave happy as larry

Life is like a fun local bar
Located in every bazar
"Stranger I will miss you alot
It's not about drinks you bought.
It's about lessons you taught."
Next day someone else replaces him
Each day I am filled with new whim

Life is like a fun local bar
Located in every bazar
"Bartender suggest me a drink"
"Ma'am you may try Penicillin."
I gave a nod to him promptly
My husband never got lucky
I do nod for him some days
But always it is sideways

Life is like a fun local bar
Located in every bazar
"Oh Stranger I got you again
Life is the most uncertain game"
I thought I don't need anyone
But what will happen in long run
No one wants to die lonely
I may die bankrupt, leaving key
Key to harmony, my poetry
