That’s Hanuman
With his birthday yesterday I formatted a poem on this beloved hero.
That’s Hanuman
He has the power of devotion
Weather still or in motion
Assistant to Sri Ram
And his brother Laksman
A warrior, up to serve
A person of solid nerve
And of bodily strength
He would go to any length
To recover Rama’s princess
Circumstantially in distress
He came to her in small size
To take her back, no compromise
But she held to her principal
Though suggestion was irresistible
Ram was her only man to touch
Hanuman understood very much
Though a warrior, also a monk
His value would never ever be sunk
Only compelled to take her back to him
While Ram stood at the ocean’s rim
At first she took him as adversary
A monkey to trust is so contrary
On presenting Ram’s ring token
That gesture said more than anything spoken
The celibate warrior soared back to Ram
And told of her waiting for him to come
With club in hand the primate was up to attack
Rascal Ravan being doomed for a broken back
To the one we love, everyone’s man
In part an ape, that’s Hanuman
