Sunchaser’s Escapades
So , as I tell, to cut long stories short, succinct ,
Wild conservation by elders-ancients in the system
Was inbuilt ; animals protected most by dint
Of sheer association , making gods of them.
The flying monkey god, of these the most endearing one,
Beloved Hanuman leaps monkeylike agile at all ,
Straight from birth hungry sunchaser thinking the sun
A fruit , chased to Indra’s heaven the golden ball.
Gold skinned, rubyfaced, long tailed, flies father windspeed,
Ram’s staunch ally, devotion’s tested to extreme,
In whirlwind haste brings herbs* cure, his farfamed good deed ,
Even if it mean carrying whole mountain beams !
Who cares for common sense when escapades bring laughs !
Ram’s trusted messenger upscales prowess, speed graphs.

Notes: Venerated Hindu monkey god, though overpowering and strong when as Bajrangbali, in his eagerness to please his idol Ram exhibits many an endearing human frailty. His impulsive nature that causes havoc in Lanka is also a source of amusement when as he rushes headlong to save Ram and Lakshman. Unable to identify exact herb cure that he has flown all the way to the Himalayas for, he ends up carrying the whole mountain. His flight invariably creates whirlwinds , such is his speed.
