Poem - Healthy n Happy on Mumbai Roads

Why is a Mumbaikar happy n healthy?
You got to come and see.....
Just being on the roads of Mumbai
Keeps one as FIT as can be!
A Mumbaikar gets his neck exercises
And boy! he gets it in style....
When as he drives his two-wheeler
He balances his mobile!
Placed precariously is the instrument
Between his neck and the shoulder blade
He gets his Neck Exercises alright
Just the perfect grade!
Our roads are dotted with potholes
Which routinely exercises our spine...
It is this permanent road condition
That keeps it super fine!
Watch OUT!!!! For the BEST Buses
They surprise you indeed!
They whoooosh in from all the sides
They come in with great speed....
And by doing so, the Good Samaritans....
Let you toss n turn n warp
But in the process, gentle reader,
They keep your reflexes sharp!
We Mumbaikars are a blessed lot
We get an excellent eye exercise, you know,
You have to rotate them all the while
While you are on the go!
Many a times we communicate
Strictly with our EYES alone
“I am turning, by heck! YOU will wait...”
Our communication skills we hone!
When rickshaws from enter every corner,
NOPE! You will not honk in vain
Your deep breathing exercises you start
If you want to remain sane!
While traffic snarls keep you engaged
And precious fuel you burn
Patience and endurance skills
Are added bonus - you earn!
If you are a pedestrian....
Only the fittest - welcome aboard
Not meant for the weak n meek
No- Not one Mumbai Road!
Because you got to be the fittest
And perform near impossible feats
You beat the best of nimble goats
To cross the Mumbai Streets!
So fit n healthy, deliriously happy
That’s how we merrily stay.....
If , dear reader, you are on the roads of Mumbai
You are a winner all the way!
