Let me tell you about the ‘potion of success’
And to make it, the tedious process
Mixing the ingredients is not the trouble
But I dare you to get them (if you are able)
Three drops of fresh honey from a hive
For which you must (smartly) thrive
A handful of hair from a man, bald
(Preferably in shade of green like emerald)
Next in line, are three pieces of pure silk
T’is as easy as stealing from a baby, its milk
A pail of freshly hand pumped water you’d need
To find a working pump is the actual deed
From a tardy man a drop of sweat
Who’s not even got out of bed
From such a person you should take
Who lives near the Arctic lake
Now, mix it to get it done
Mix it such that it becomes one
Drink it and it will be in your bone
A potion of success of your own
Think back what gave you this
This success and permanent bliss
Is it just the potion on its own,
Or is it the effort, wit and patience that you bore ?
All the very best, Sahana.. As usual lovely one. Wish you and your family a Happy and Profitable New Year 2021 😊
