when the clock strikes ten ten

when the clock strikes ten ten and i fall
into the marble of the gilded banquet hall
that is when i hear the ceiling call
through a hole in the magician's shawl
some of whose rabbits now jump at me
as i try to wrench myself free
from the floor's all embracing glee
i try hard to stand but i crawl
there is now whisky burning on the stove
fat men in white wings are flying above
one of whom has arrows and a bow
he shoots one and it becomes a shove
which takes me down by the chest
i descend thinking this is no time to rest
soon there is going to be another ball
the clock strikes ten ten then and i fall

Aah, no wonder. That's why my clock never strikes ten ten. Have you jinxed it by any chance?

My magic is far reaching n does not even spare time. In fact thanks to me no clock strikes at ten ten

J J J J Hai: One spell comin up and since this is potent stuff, you will start seeing the difference immediately. Expect some surprises in a day or two. But be warned when it comes to luv shuv, my magic does what it does but later, god help you

rrrrrRavali: I am not a MUTATED version of Alice in Wonderland. I am a PERVERTED version of Alice in Wonderland

Ok so lemme just have this in writing so that we are on the same page:
9.03 AM on Saturday, 21st of Jan, 2006, 87 surprises. OK?

Hmm... cool. Now temme:

Why 87? Why O Why O WHy did you choose that number of all intinite numbers in the world?
Magical Mathematical deductions I suppose?
How do I know if he's fallen?
What do I do if I don't get a single surprise?
Why are you doing all this for me?

madhavan said...

Nope, you aint got it right. All 87 surprises dont happen in two days. The surprises begin in two days and then they run on till there's 87 of them and then either you break up or one of you die.

You will know he's fallen if you go and ask him out for something, like a circus. Alternatively you can wait for a surprise.

If you dont get a single surprise by said date, then you will know that I was faffing.

I am doing all this for you because you have done much for me as you say but I sure as hell dont know what they are but I guess I will take your word for it.

Is everything revealed? Are we on the same page now?
