''Law of Inheritance of the Genes''

''Law of Inheritance of the Genes''

 

Today I read a story

Of a multi billionaire

Who rewarded his friend?

After he did become a billionaire,

With his gift loan

Which was non returnable? 

 

After years he realised

He was indebted

To that guy

 

Like wise I too have a story to convey.

I had only two hundred dollars

I gave away

All but ten

To a friend

 

He too rolled in billions

And

One day he said

See how I made my life

No one gave me a cent.

 

I smiled. He didn’t know why

Then he said friend

You smile, oh why.

 

I reminded him

But sheepishly

Then he did say

‘’don’t worry’’

I’ll give back

Your two hundred dollars

Later some day...

 

He was from the Shylock dynasty perhaps,

Of Shakespearean plays.
