Lub-Dub, Lub-Dub

You go Lub-Dub, Lub-Dub, Lub-Dub,

I go on with my life, unaware of your Lubs and Dubs.

I’ve never seen you, just like a baby in a mother’s womb,

Still, you keep beating and pumping till I reach the tomb.

..................

I rest, sleep, procrastinate, mindlessly while away my time,

Oh, I work, you know, the man deserves a bit of downtime.

Have you ever thought about resting? Don’t you feel exhausted?

Fair enough. When I rest, you work. But if you rest, I will be cremated.

...................

I don’t remember when we commenced our intimate bonding,

You were small when I was small; you grew up with me like my twin sibling.

You dance to my beats when I am at the extremes of my scary emotions,

I am sure you must have felt dismayed a million times with all the commotion.

..........................

You keep working as seamlessly and silently as a well-made Swiss watch,

I was in love, not once, not twice; you were my partner in crime, there’s no match.

You ensure all my insides get bathed and washed every minute; it’s such a clockwork,

I am not in your league; I have, a truckload of times, dodged the shower after my day’s work.

......................

When you do choose to take a long, forever vacation,

Know that our rapport was an unblemished sacred liaison.

You were my only faithful companion; you didn’t let me down,

Even when every other earthling chose to desert my life’s town.
