Poem for Architects

I penned a poem during my stint in an MNC where I was reviewing drawings issued to me by Architects for Audit.Those who are familiar with Architectural Drawings may enjoy it better.

It’s nice to review an elevation

For, it’s a sure test of orientation

That puts to rest all speculation.

“Which is north and which is east?”

questions the auditor.

“This is south and that is west”

replies the creator.

“How come east is west and west is east?”

queries the auditor.

“No, no, no, east remains east and west remains west”

quips the creator.

Says the auditor,

“Look here, east is west and west is east

as per your drawings sent in advance.”

“Yes, yes, yes east as west and west as east

            happens only by chance.

East becomes East and West becomes West

only after auditor’s glance”,

Admits the creator.

(Auditor complains)

Here is a drawing

With a section line

Shown on the ground floor

But shifts on the first floor

First time in my profession

I see a section line of this kind

Can you make the correction

If you don’t mind?

(Creator rues)

First time in my career

I tried to make a difference

But all my experiments

have only met with indifference.

If only these auditors could understand

Our passion for creation

We the creators

Sure, could have done wonders in recreation. (Pun intended)

The above poem was penned for publication in the Inhouse Journal of the company I was working for. When I got to know the "result" after submitting this poem for publication,  instantly my hands ran over the keys on the comp and lo! I penned one more in just few minutes dedicated to my boss titled "Poem for my Boss"
