Dr. Sarojini Pritam is a lone crusader of humour in prose and poetry. She had been a columnist of humorous poetry writing for more than two decades. She is very well known as specialized writer of flickers in Hindi and English languages. She feels “ humour is a detergent which clears all the mental webs.” She has written hundreds of poems containing wit, humour and satire. She has provided new dimensions to humour poetry. Her writings, both in prose and poetry , are ornate with her in-depth thinking, and exalting emotions. As an academician, an author and a poetess she has been enjoying a very venerated status among her friends, admirers and critics. Her pleasant and presentable personality whets admiration of all those she comes in contact with, and wins their hearts with her amicability and her unique style of poetic expressions, especially in humour. She expresses her thoughts in lighter vein, but leaves to the readers/audiences longer lasting impression of poems which inspire introspection because of the messages communicated by her are of far reaching effect on the thinking of the readers. She has won many national awards in literature as marks of honour to her endeavours .
Mistaken
On seeing his will
The advocate was stunned
And asked :
“You are unmarried
Then how have you written
In the column of children “a son”
The client said:
“I wonder.
My lady clerk must be responsible
For this blunder
The advocate further advocates
Increase in population
Is the result of
Such mistakes.
Deceased
The boss thought
Habitual late comers should be
Honored in a manner
That they should always
Hold as a banner.
After a lot of research
He claims
regular late comers
will be required
to write- ‘Late’ before their names.
Kashmi
Why are you after Kashmi
Give me one reason
He said laughingly
This part of earth has gold in it
And, do you hear
This part of earth is cash-mere
