On a bright sunny day

This poem occurred to me yesterday and as it happens I penned it down. Do tell me whether you enjoyed it or not

On a bright sunny day

When lovers stroll their way

I rest my ass on grass

With the book which is crass


With the sun hitting my face

Without sun-screen in this case

Thinking about the test

I lay my book to rest


There were green all around

High pines look me down

I thought taking a walk

Only to get some real shock


There she stood in pink

The color she wanted me to drink

A guy was holding her hands

The one who wore grey pants


They looked happy and gay

As they began to sway

I was left in lurch

I moved toward the perch


I want to hear their talk

As they talked and walk

He said he is a vet

As I hid my silhouette


It was a blind date

But was on my wedding cake

Cupid’s arrow did struck

My heart bled, and their fluffed


Dejected- I turned back

I needed my book to relax

I reached the grass where I rest

I have to prepare for the test


There was a book once

But now there was none

A swine took it away

Spoiling my fine sunny day


Soon my cell-phone rang

From there she pang

Her disapproval of mine

A bungee from cloud nine


Losing my book

Losing my girl

Flunking the test

I became a jest


On a bright sunny day

Wow!!! Very Nice Indeed :)
The unfailing rhyme and rhythm are appreciable, I didn't miss the humour either. The humour was kinda slapstick and blunt, to the likes of Catch22.

I enjoyed the poem. The sentence "A guy was holding his hands" cracked me up. I think you meant "A guy was holding her hand".
