MOTH-EATEN PAGE- LOVE SONG OF J.ALFRED PRUFROCK An Apology to T.S.Eliot Tralalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala Let’s drink and be merry and dance on air Friends and foes of Sindbad, in the dragon’s lair When the Rock will sit on the rock Norfolk We will find him under grumble stone -Mr. Prufrock He was settling a pillow and throwing off a shawl Set about on eternal questions with Pablo and Paul Drank a cup of Horlicks followed by ammonium sol He was older than his legs and slender like a doll Squeezed the universe into a bouncing ball. Tralalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala Let’s drink and be merry and dance on air Everything is fair in love and cab fare Have you gone to Country mall? No, it’s rare I have earned already the lion’s share Nobody was there to watch out with a vacant stare. Tralalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala Let’s drink and be merry and dance on air Move in on to enemy territory a solitaire Don’t panic; don’t be scared, I am on down stair I‘ll join you if I can care. Tralalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala Let’s drink and be merry and dance on air Till I dare. © RAJAT KANTI CHAKRABARTY 16th October, 2014 17:57:00 IST
