Oasis of A Blaming Game
By
Hillol Ray
If our mission fails,
We lay the blame-
On something or someone
To disclaim!
Singer's glamor reveals
Songs with a real voice-
Unaffected by 'acid reflux'
And instrumental choice!!
For a publicity stunt,
'Exposure' is the route-
Via 'wardrobe malfunction',
And there's no doubt!!
Squabbles of a couple
Play oasis of a blaming game-
And prolong 'He said/She said',
Without a guilt or shame!!
Over-spending may trigger
Bankruptcy for sure-
But we blame on something,
For less pain to endure!!
