ANDHA HAI KYA ?

When I do bump into women
And they ask me if i am blind
I just tell them "As a matter of fact
In both my eyes I have cataract,
Could you lend me a helping hand?" I blink
"To find the way to the ophthalmologist's clinic?"
Taken aback, the ladies beg pardon
Not knowing they have been led up the garden

The milk of human kindness overflows
As clasping my hand they lead me down the road
At the clinic, I pretend to climb the steps on all my four
And as the ladies turn back,I bolt from the clinic's back door.

......................................................................................

Note: I neither bump into women nor can I climb steps on all my fours. This is just a flight of poetic fancy
