C is not an alphabet, I bet!

When I was a kid, basic was a word in English.

C++ was actually a grade that would earn us a spank,

That made us study hard and aim for a better rank.

Can’t the words mean what they meant, how I wish!

Java was actually an island, on a faraway land,

Which we vaguely knew was a part of Indonesia,

Its population almost equaled that of Russia.

Advanced Java would mean they had an upper hand!

Perl would only mean that you forgot an ‘a’,

And had to erase and rewrite the whole word again,

Till it read ‘Pearl’ that you would see in a chain!

Once upon a time the world used to function this way!

Those were the times when a word meant a word,

Rather than a document, prefixed with the initial ‘MS’.

And an access would allow me to reach without a fuss!

Alas, now when I hear a word I must re-check what I heard!

Life and Nuclear Physics – in a nut shell!

The frenzy pace of the world keeps us spinning,

Within the bounds of a known orbit.

When our energy level dips we move closer to home,

Where we can relax until we are fit!

When we like someone we are willing to bond,

By giving up on our ego.

Then as a pair we spin around both parent nuclei,

Until it becomes a complete family show!

Energy is released by some; energy is absorbed by others,

Like it happens during nuclear fusion.

When families join together in happiness or sorrow,

In the pretext of a family occasion!

Fission happens too, when the nucleus breaks into two,

When man and wife fight for power.

The strong nuclear force can no longer hold the nucleus,

And the two part ways from each other!
