The Coconut
Under the shade of the palm tree tall
A merchant sat, feeling tired and small An ape above, with mischief in mind Threw a coconut down, not so kind The merchant fell down, dazed and sore He rised again with a taste of war He hurled the coconut, full of ire Against the tall tree with righteous fire He went away to the market in town His temper was dark, his mood was down No luck all the day, no joy to be found His spirit was low, his profit unsound A rainy day, a Sufi master came there Sat under this tree, enjoyed the fresh air Again, from the branches, a coconut flew The mischievous ape had a victim anew The master fell with a heavy thud Lying dazed and all covered with mud Rising slowly, he clutched his head And carefully leaved this awkward bed He took his knife and opened the shell He drank its milk, the savour so well Crafting a bowl from the coconut's part Turning misfortune into fine art Geändert von JWagner (16.12.2023 um 22:51 Uhr) |
