The Killer

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

When the cells forget
How to die
The Killer's target
Learns to die!

Gandhi couldn't care!

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

"I have drops of Gandhi's blood and his ashes up for deal, sale or auction": James Otis


Otis:
"Here is thy blood and here thine ashes,
This is our wine, and these molasses";

Gandhi:
"But I am a Hindoo,
None of this Voodoo;
I am the Spirit transcending Judasses!
30 pieces of silver
Is the price for jackasses."

Word-eaters (verbivores!)

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

"Pak not to allow its soil to be used for terrorism": Zardari on 28 March

"Suicide bomber kills 100 in a mosque in Pakistan": New Report on 29 March

"Lahore Police Academy attacked and 800 Policeman taken hostage in Lahore...30 killed": TV Report and Visuals on 30 March


Those who eat before they earn
Are found to ever cut and run;
Those who speak before their turn
Are bound to eat their words anon!

Tail & the Dog

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

"Pak not to allow its soil to be used for terrorism": Zardari


Pardon my gag,
I'm born a wag;
Can any tail
Wag its Dog?

Limerick-sick

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

My wife is sick of limericks
& such despicable gimmicks
She likes odes & elegies
Songs & sonnets & eulogies
Paeans, praises or panegyrics!

SIGH!

Narayana, Narayana!

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

"..Sixty is the age when all of us should renunciate worldly life": Quote attributed to N. R. Narayana Murthy in DC 27 March: Banner headline with Photo on Page 8


DC's a law unto itself
Quoting Narayan's good self
It enunciates, denunciates
Pronunciates and Renunciates
As it pleases itself!

Webster should learn anew
How little English he knew!

Ugadi Greetings

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

Here is Telugu New Year
Bitter, sweet and sour;
Like Life's kind and good
Neem, Aam and Guud
We wish you well forever!
