Sorry...It's Not Maggi Noodles
by: Bhim Pandya (May 2021)

Making Noodles

This is an apology poem covering the events of a recent Instagram story which took place in my circle. 

Again, not going to name any names. 

Some one had posted a boomerang in another country, another town and in another language. The boomerang contained a pan in which "Indian Street-Style Hakka Chow-Mein Noodles were being made". 

Someone who viewed the story mistook it for "Maggi" noodles (ready to eat ramen-style noodles, a staple in every Indian household). They responded to the story saying "Mast Maggi Che" (these Maggi noodles look really good). 

This made the chef very angry and rightfully so, considering that they had actually captioned the boomerang with "Street-Style Hakka Chow-Mein Noodles" and must have thought that the person commenting was pulling their leg.

 

They did forgive the miscreant individual  when the miscreant apologized as described in the poem.   I personally felt that a  simple "sorry" or "my bad" was not enough and decided to write this poem. I hope the chef stumbles upon my site one day and happens to read this poem.

Sorry...Sorry...Sorry

It was just an insta-story

Of a bonnie lass

Who was never in my class (school)

Tossing some noodles...

I made a doodle and mistook it for Maggi

 

The unreal-McCoy 

Red, Angry Emoji

Peepers and  Soy

A rageful ploy

Oye...

The denouement of joy

 

Sorry's and My-Bads

 

Will never happen again

 

It was Hakka Chow-mein

 

And always will be 

The street style noodles 

of land that is free

Sorry Lass 

Hope I will get a pass

Until next time, which will never be

Because Sorry... It's was not Maggi and I say it again

But street-style Hakka Chow-mein 

And always will be...
