HOW GOOD ARE MY EARS - 264

HOW GOOD ARE MY EARS  



I AM YOUR EARS 

WE ARE TWO IN NUMBER AND ARE TWINS

Sadly our fate is such that ,

WE HAVE NEVER SEEN EACH OTHER AT ANYTIME DURING OUR LIVES 

I do not  know as to what has led us to this sorry  state .

More importantly  our bad fate does not end here , infact it  just happens to be the beginning .

WE THE - EARS - ARE ENDOWED WITH THE ABILITY TO  ONLY LISTEN , BE  IT ALL THE ABUSES OR  A FEW ENCOURAGING WORDS WHICH  COME OUR WAY NOW AND THEN .

AS WE AGE , WE ARE MADE TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE SPECTACLES AROUND OUR EARS .

THE SPECTACLES ARE FOR THE EYES WHICH IMPROVES A PERSONS  EYESIGHT , WHY DO I NEED TO CARRY THE EXTRA WEIGHT OF THE SPECTACLES AROUND MY EARS ALL THROUGH MY LIFE TIME . I CANNOT SEE BUT I CAN SURELY HEAR EVRYTHING THAT GOES ON IN FRONT OF ME OR EVEN  BEHIND MY BACK .

WHY DO PEOPLE WHO ARE LOUD MOUTHED ALWAYS GET TO HAVE  THE LAST LAUGH IN ANY ARGUMENT. 

DURING SCHOOLDAYS WE THE EARS ALWAYS CAME IN HANDY TO OUR TEACHERS WHO WOULD SCREW OUR EARS NO END FOR EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF  MISDEEDS THAT WE OCCASIONALLY  INDULGED IN .

AS WE GREW OLDER , EARINGS , LOCKETS , JHUMKAAS , THONGATTAMS, BIG DIAMOND THODU , ALL AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AROUND OUR EARS HAVE NOW MADE THEIR WAY . WE HAD OUR EARS PIERCED AT MULTIPLE PLACES  TO MAKE WAY FOR THESE DAINTY  ITEMS TO STAY FASTENED TO THE EARS 

ALL THIS WAS NOT FOR THE EARS BUT FOR THE OVERALL  FACE TO  LOOK BETTER AND ATTRACTIVE ,

NOW LET'S COME TO  THE BEAUTY AIDS , MASCARA FOR THE EYES , ROUGE AND TALCUM POWDER FOR THE CHEEKS AND NOSE  , THOUSAND AND ONE SHADES OF LIPSTICK , UMPTEEN SHADES OF DYE FOR THE HAIR , HAIR STAIGHTENERS , HAIR CURLERS , FALSE EYELASHES , THE LIST IS ALMOST ENDLESS .

 WE HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING TO MAKE US LOOK BETTER  . WE ARE ALWAYS AT OUR NATURAL BEST AS GOD HAS MADE US TO BE WITHOUT ANY OF THESE MANMADE  PROPS  .

NO  POET HAS EVER MADE ANY MENTION ABOUT US IN ANY OF HIS LOVE TALES ,  IT IS ALWAYS THE ALMOND / HAZEL EYES , BEAUTIFUL NECK , UPTURNED OR POUTED PINK LIPS , HOUR GLASS WAIST AND SO ON AND SO FORTH . WE POOR EARS NEVER FIND A MENTION IN ANY OF THEIR DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAINTY LOVERS .

AND NOW , WORLD OVER , I NOW CARRY THE ADDED AND HUGE BURDEN OF THE " MASK " WHICH IS NOW A WAY OF LIFE AND  HAS BEEN THE SOLE SAVIOR THUS FAR IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE DEADLY PANDEMIC .


ALL THAT GLITTERS AS THEY SAY IS NOT GOLD , PLEASE DO REMEMBER THAT ATLEAST FOR MY SAKE .

I AM AS ALWAYS YOUR 

                 EARS

  1. Good one. When they fail, a hearing aid or an implant is also inserted into them
