The Poem for a Mean Joke


Mansi is an intern at Random, and I have been joking with her since long about her pop culture knowledge, basic that is, like Ducktales, Mr.India, aur Ek Anek Ekta.

So basically i make lots of jokes about her pop culture knowledge (its more funny because I am very shitty when it comes to pop culture, but american)

So she has her interview for her masters in Mass Comm tomorrow and I made some really bad jokes, which i really like personally, like

1. Suggested her to play dead whenever she's asked about anything remotely related to pop culture.
2. Made fun of her phtography portfolio, which i thought looked like made from a basic arty portfolio template, that means that it included the must have pictures, like

THE RAJASTHANI MAN
THE DOG CLOSE UP
A FEW VILLAGE WOMEN
A RANDOM SHOT OF DOODHWAALA DABBA, OR SOME RANDOM OBJECTS
ALSO
A POOR CHILD, FAVORABLY CHAIWAALA.

so after this she left, and I realised that I have been really rude, so I wrote her this poem, which Rhymes (because all last words ARE THE SAME!!!)

I've been joking all my life
on people, situations and everyday life.

Since I make the jokes, I never mind
I expect people don't do, but sometimes they mind.

Jokes don't mean that i doubt your talent
It means that i am very unsure about my jokes, my talent.

Thats why I want to flaunt it all the time
make you stop, and waste your time.

So forget everything i said today
because it always about the future, not today.

So get up tomorrow, with a smile.
Because you have an interview tomorrow,
and you don't want to be confused

so, sport a smile
hit them with all you have, tomorrow
They'' be awestruck, they'll be confused

Because once you're done with them,
They'll be happy you left xaviers for them.

And then I recieved her reply, a positive fun reply:


wow.
by the time i was finished with this, i had a huge smile on my face.
thanks.
it means a lot.

p.s: and yes ! taking your advice, I will cough or look away or play dead,if they ask me anything about pop culture.

***********

So, with the episode closed on a positive note, I present what I think is a template for a "PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO"
