for n.a. please 

wrote the boss

the subordinate was at loss

 

it was inscribed in green

ink in the top corner 
of the first page

 

in rage he went 

to his boss but stopped

at the gate and mewed—

 

'Sir, may I come in'

the boss stared at him

and said—'yes

 

what's the matter?’

He meekly uttered—

'Sir, I didn't understand

 

what's the meaning 

of for n.a. please?’

The boss smiled 

 

and gently said—
'for necessary action please'

whatever it means.
