Do I know you?

Divya Hirani

Lyric
Would you come and bail
Me out of my high security jail
It just took a colossal fail
To put between my legs my timid tail
I’ve heard good friends you can rely on
To rescue you from the night albeit just before dawn
As rare as the Hope diamond and a black swan
Where have the childhood days of companionship gone?

    Wow, what a creative and humorous poem! I love the use of rhyming and the playful tone throughout. The idea of relying on good friends to bail us out of tough situations is relatable and adds a sense of warmth and nostalgia to the piece.
    My suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps expand on the childhood theme mentioned in the last line, tying it in more closely with the overall message of the poem. But overall, this was a delightful read and I was thoroughly entertained. Well done!
