I've Tried All Sorts of Potion
K. Radhakumar *
It is bitter
It is bitter out today
Betty bought a bit of butter
A bit of butter
I had a friend
Who drank plenty of coffee
He is a cup of coffee today
My friend is a cup of coffee now
Not always
No coffee for me
It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
Betty bought a bit of butter
But found the butter bitter
The bitter taste of life
I fantasize about becoming a tiger
A tiger
Not because I am a weakling
I am not the weakling
My friends make me out to be
In the hard times we live in
Tigers are my jungle cousins
Second mythological story
I am half man half beast
No particular reasons
I just like a tiger
Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger in the forests of the night
I know my life is slipping away
My life is slipping away
Life is slipping away
Life is a disease of modern times
A disease of modern times
A disease
It is a story
An amusing story
But not serious
At the end of the day
I feel I still have to live my life
It is time for bed
The whole day
I was only joking
