Story of a PDO

 

Last night Sleeping I (PDO ) died... or so it seemed
Then I went to the Heaven
But only in my dream
Up there St Peter met me
Standing at the Pearly Gates
He said, "I must check your record...
Please stand here and wait”
He returned and said, "Your record
Is covered with terrible flaws
On earth I see you rallied
For every losing cause".
I see that you drank alcohol
smoked and partied too
Fact is, you've done everything
A good person should never do
We can't have people like you up here...
Throughout your life all you did was hear
You carried out orders without pausing to think
You never asked for instructions in ink...
You burned the candle at both the ends
Dreamt of changing the entire system overnight
And, as a result, incurred the wrath of the representatives of people
You were made scapegoat for their follies
Then he read the last of my record
Took my hand and said, “Come in”
You took all the arbitrary orders of higher ups
Roamed all the villages in scorching heat and shivering cold
You left your kith, kin, hearth and home
You come from an unresponsive and ungrateful 'Department'
You were denied your rights by your higher ups
He led me up to the Chief of Heaven and said...
“Take him in and treat well”
He has served as a PDO in the Department of RDPR, Karnataka
He’s done his time in hell !!!
