Sipra's Diary : POEM>. "LAGNIAPPE"

   

     

           LAGNIAPPE:   Sipra Roy.
 
 In the new-age  of 'use and throw' society 

'Lagniappe' is a  forgotten term in prosperity,
.:  
 Unless we search meaning in the dictionary!

  
Bygone are those days of simple  life 

When small gift brought big smile!

In this age of extravagance, spilled-over-

Garbage box with  left over from the upper class 

Wait  for disposal  as "trash"for  ignoble mass;

The excess  as  'refuge'  from the extravagant  class;  

Is sumptuous than  mere 'lagniappe' of    old-days! 

        It is an universal  fact :
'
'Interest is sweeter than the capital'

So   'lagniappe'  was meant   for extra joy; 

But  if greed is too big to exceed the cornucopia 

Then  expectation  may  turn  into  frustration !

                                                                         Lagniappe=  "given free as gift"with purchase
