Once there was this Rishi <br />Living under a banyan tree <br />Meditating on Him, all his life <br />Alone, without worries or wife.. <br /> <br />It was a sunny day, bit hazy <br />Rishi was relaxed and lazy <br />A mouse came running and fell at his feet <br />A cat came chasing to eat <br /> <br />The mouse prayed 'Gimme shelter or u sin' <br />The cat said 'Protecting my food is no less a thing' <br />Rishi had to decide one way or other <br />Rishi blessed the mouse to be his daughter <br /> <br />The daughter grew into a beautiful woman <br />Time came for Rishi to think of her man. <br />He asked the daughter for any criteria or test <br />She said she wanted only the Best <br /> <br />Best of a man is a Rishi, said the father <br />Not really so, said the daughter <br />When Rishi said, better than a Rishi is the only Sun <br />No, said the daughter, not the burning hot one! <br /> <br />Rishi asked the Sun, if he knows anyone better <br />The Sun said, try the Cloud, it hides my power <br />When Rishi told her of the Cloud's valor <br />No, said the daughter, I hate the dark color <br /> <br />Rishi asked the Cloud, who betters it <br />The Cloud said, surely the Wind, it blows me out <br />Rishi asked the daughter, if Wind is her choice <br />No, said the daughter, It just makes noise. <br /> <br />Rishi asked the Wind, for a better person <br />The Wind said, It is the immovable Mountain <br />Rishi asked the daughter, if Mountain passes her test <br />No, said the daughter, full of trough and crest <br /> <br />Rishi asked the Mountain for the best in the land <br />The Mountain said, It is the Mouse that crushes it to sand <br />Rishi asked the daughter, if Mouse is her groom <br />Yes, said the daughter, I love his eyes that zoom.. <br /> <br />Rishi made his daughter back into a mouse <br />They married and lived in a hole as their house <br />The Best for a mouse is mouse, for Rishi a Rishi, for crook a crook <br />It depends on what you look out for; your outlook!<br /><br />TheBigThinkg Human<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-is-the-best-2/
