Standing in the middle of the street, Mr. Chaubeji had a banana ho,
Threw the banana peel right there, and set out in pomp and show!
But alas! He stepped on the peel and took a great fall,
His hat was undone, glasses shattered, “Oh my God!”, he gave a shrill call!
The banana peel mocked Chaubeji, saying, “Didn’t I say a banana could be fun?
For all the fools who throw peels on the street, may this lesson be a good one!”

[NOTE: The “ho” in the first line above was a desperate effort on my part to keep up the AA-BB rhyme-scheme!]

ha.. ha.. good one...in fact, refreshing one....
Shame on you! Laughing at the expense of poor Chaubeji!! I a just kidding Amal. Thanks a lot!
that one was funny, different from ur usual style...
Thanks flyaway mind. I had a 6-yr old kid tell me that I was "naturally funny". Don't know what he meant by that. I was wearing my PJs and geeky glasses then. So, maybe that triggered it... :)
funny one :) enjoyed!
Thanks Polona :))

Thanks Andrew!
I enjoyed this! Looks as if translated from Hindi!
Yes Gautami, that's right. My 7-yr old niece religiously narrated that to me in Hindi (with actions, et al), and I translated it into English. Or maaybe, "Hinglish"?
Downright entertaining. *chuckles* You and your niece make a great team. ^_^
Soulless, "dhanyavaad" (thank you in Hindi)!
