Do not ask for it again,

said the koel

I will not sing the same song ever again

But then I was struck by this insistence

Did not you insist on singing this song many times earlier

Even when I was

Not always in the mood to listen

Yes, I did, but that was my choice

Asserted the koel

Now, this is my choice

I will not sing this song again

How could I have complained, after all

All the rules in this world

are made by the koel

Crow has to only plead that

his eggs will be nurtured by koel

ever and ever again
