Honest Iconoclast

---------------------------------------------------------

"Sri Ram's idol is a stony doll
Shiv Lingam's a phallic symbol

Jesus' Cross's a wooden stand
Hazrat's Bal a hairy strand

My body is a bloody corpse
Death and Doom writ across

The One Spirit's tough to prove
Till then let's live in Love!"

Nature's Inversions

"Musharraf's tip was Rs 20,000 for a bill of Rs. 10,000": DC 9 April Front Page Banner


Kite's tail is 10 times head,
Comet's tail is 100 times head,

Prawn's mooch is 1000 times head,
Hanuman's tail can be ANY times head,

Heron's bill is double its tip;
Our Hero's tip's double his bill!

What the Dickens!

"Charles Dickens's former home Bleak House in Broadstairs, Kent, is up for sale for 2 million Pounds Sterling": News Report

The stairs may be broad but the house is bleak,
The walls are broke, and the roof will leak;
The buyer will be taunted
That the house is haunted
By the ghosts of Winkle, Weller & Mr. Peakweak!

Grateful to Ranga Rao IAS

-----------------------------------------

A billion dollar windfall
Can only change a lifestyle;
But Ranga Rao's phone call
Can lift aloft the Mind-style!

A Lover's sweet nothings
Can tickle her for an hour;
But a book-lover's blessings
Will stay there Forever!

Queen and the Cauliflower

"US First Lady Michelle Obama broke protocol when she placed her arm around the Queen at the Buckingham Palace": Picture and Report


Folks kneel before me and the Pope
But these Yankees hug me and grope
This Michelle Obama
Like Spencer Diana
Brims with the 'Audacity of a Dope'!

Pet Rage Doggerel

"A senior Punjab IPS Officer grabbed his security guard's AK-47 and emptied the entire 32-round magazine on two snarling stray dogs and ended up shooting his own gunman in his thigh trying to save his pet dog. He was booked for his cruelty to animals": News item on page 8 DC April 2, 2009

------------------------------------------------------------

"But soon a wonder came to light,
That showed the rogues they lied:
The man recovered of the bite,
The dog it was that died."

-- Last stanza of 'An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog' by Oliver Goldsmith

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IPS Officer's Defense:

They tried to kill my dog, they did;
I shot the mutts with his gun, I did;
My dog I saved as I wished, I did;
The poor cur lost his head and thigh, He did!

WE our Relics

------------------------------------------------------------


Holy Grail, Wailing Wall,
Dead Sea Scrolls, Hazrat's Bals,

Jesus' Shroud, Gandhi's Blood,
Ram's Mandir, Guru's Harmindar;

We value them all, Strive for all,
Fight for each; Is this they teach?
