Mystery Behind The Turban

Late evening on a Sunday I sat in my veranda, working

On my research paper relating

To noise pollution in cities, suddenly continuous honking

Of cars on the main road was disturbing

My concentration, I went to the main road for knowing

The reason for disturbance, I saw policemen were trying

Their best to pacify the irritated occupants sitting

In their vehicles, I understood from the people standing

On the pavement, a VIP had come to this area for attending

A function, that was the reason for not allowing

Movement freely. I noticed a commotion a few metres away from where I was standing.

I noticed, a bridegroom was sitting on a decorated horse, with continuous honking

Of the horns from the vehicles, the horse was trying

To escape by pulling the reins held by the attendant, the horse started moving

Hither and thither. Seeing the behaviour of the horse, the bridegroom started feeling

Jittery, in a loud voice he along with the people in the procession were shouting

At the attendant for not controlling the horse, the bridegroom was attempting

To jump from the horse. While jumping

The turban fell on the ground, the people in the procession were trampling

The turban, the purpose of wearing the turban was for covering

His baldness, meanwhile the vehicles started moving,

The bridegroom quickly got into a car and people were dispersing,

The attender of the horse sat on the horse, due to frustration he kept whipping

The horse.
