Poem: Ganesh from ‘Songs/Poems II’

In the morning you see
Sometimes it takes me
Too long to wake up, I still win though

Because of the power
I get after I shower
From the elephant god in my window

Oh Ganesh isn’t fresh
Or wiry like mesh
In fact he’s older than he is new

But although he can’t prance
Like the Lord of the Dance
He’s much cooler than Vaak or Vishnu.
