An Old Song

...So long as 'neath the Kalka hills
 The tonga-horn shall ring,
So long as down the Solon dip
 The hard-held ponies swing,
So long as Tara Devi sees
 The lights of Simla town,
So long as Pleasure calls us up,
 Or Duty drivese us down,
 If you love me as I love you
 What pair so happy as we two?

So long as Aces take the King,

Its genius
wonderful, circa I993.

I've assumed a great many things:
the perversity of choices, affairs
I did or did not have.

But let the record show
that I was happy.

O let the hideous chair

stand! For the Chinese apothecary

The Old Bark School

...Twas from Ireland that he came, 
Where the tanks are full all summer, and the feed is simply grand; 
And the joker then in vogue said his lessons wid a brogue – 
'Twas unconscious imitation, let the reader understand. 

And we learnt the world in scraps from some ancient dingy maps 
Long discarded by the public-schools in town; 
And as nearly every book dated back to Captain Cook 
Our geography was somewhat upside-down. 

It was "in the book" and so – well, at that we'd let i...Read more of this...
