Ghazal by and for Kartik

Man, I feel like a cat: cold.

Don't want to be no bat cold. 

The purpose of meaning is trying.

Please assist Matt Cold. 

I broke up with her on her birthday.

She told me, "Man, you didn't need to be that cold."

I overthrew the King but have a poor memory for names.

My favourite musician is the great Nat Cold. 

I found the body of the martyr 

Upon which the populace spat cold. 

I found the ivory tower

In which the hunters sat cold. 

I wandered for years in search of religion.

I arrived at the steps of Angkor Wat cold. 

I played with my American breakfast.

I left that plateful of fat cold. 

The body arrived, before the doctor could yell,

"Get the defibrillator, stat!" cold. 

Kartik gifted Sameer this thread.

Had Sameer not stitched it into a hat? Cold.
