How to lose a friend if you ask me br 'Not a hard task, I'll say, 'how easy come see'. br br For losing you need not tell him to go, very straight br Just pretend that you're busy by looking at the gate. br br If it does not work just open little mouth br Tell him you're tired and just you've come from the South. br br Keep your ears closed (only God knows why they remain open) br Pay no heed to his words till such seem to happen br br That he gets very bored, little irritated and makes a little fuss br Why instead of listening to his words you are looking through the glass br br In the meanwhile even if you feel a thirst for a little cup of tea br Forget it for now till you make him go out beyond see. br br If all of them do not work just make a last try br Ask for some money from him telling you have gone very dry. br br Yet there'll be a few who'll stick to you like glue for ever br Tell them to go now and not to come back till you come out from a fever. br br br br br br br br br © Palas Kumar Ray.All rights reserved.
