A conversation in rhyme

Here in my new apartment in Boston I sit,
with only a dim light lit.
Emailing my best friend in Mysore,
Telling her stories I had in store.
I started to wonder whether in rhyme we could converse,
But I knew my friend couldn't manage even a single verse.
But oh my! she proved me wrong!
I rhymed, and yes! she rhymed along!
Below I put down our first conversation in rhyme,
We would continue if we had the time.

Chhavi Goenka:
u think u can rhyme?
i doubt u have the time.
but go ahead if u can,
but before that choose a man.
So about him you can write,
whether finally he is Mr.Right!
oh my god, i can add rhyme to any conversation,
was there a better rhymer in god's creation?

Rohini Bhandari:
I bet no one is better than u...
Maybe me but I have no clue
And before I tie the knot
Which I better not
Or just choose the right man
Which I doubt I ever can
Lemme achieve something in life
Let me just strive, strive and strive
Oooh It's so cold in here
I wish I had something warmer to wear.
I think I need to pee
Or maybe have a cup of tea
Cuz I am really very sleepy,
Thirsty, hungry and droopy.
See I can also rhyme,
Even though I have no time!

my future plans....

I wanna be a drummer
Earn money and buy the HUMMER.
Then I'd go on an African Safari.
Oh did I not mention? I would also buy a ferrari.
Across the Autobahn I would drive.
I am hoping to do all of this before I m thirty five.
Then I'd go back home and check how much I've earned.
Hoping it's enough to buy all the stuff for which I've yearned.
Nah! I dont think it would actually be enough
Cuz I think I want a lot of stuff.
Im not gonna list it out cuz I dont want you to get bored.
Nor do I want you to start wondering how much I wanna hoard.
My dreams, my choices to other people might sound strange.
But again, ten years from now, a lot about me might change.
I might start believing in "simple living and high thinking".
I might start eating healthy and grow less fond of drinking.
Yeah yeah, if you know me, you'd know the last 2 lines were total muck.
Hahahaahahaha, I sometimes crack myself up!
18 lines of bullshit, not bad really.
One would think I wrote this while I was talli.
