A Tea and a Tree
Breezy evening almost setting in
Broad leaves of Badam trees
Sign about snack time
Hot tea with Bhaji!
Ah! A time to tickle our taste buds
Wait not, grab the Gota!
Head to eat the mouth–watering snack
Along With a spicy hot tangy sauce
Finishing off with licking fingers
Not to miss bonda ! & vada !
Try one new each day
Niche of taste, mesmerise you
All you love is, just one more please!
Flavour, taste, and a dash of freshness
Adds the badam leaves
In which all is served
No to plates, no to papers
All done with leaves of taste
Badam in backyard, yield to all
Next to plantain, serving snacks
Dried or fresh they feed the best
Just wash it once
Fallen or plucked, the leaves of badam
Used as plates from the tree
Standing tall by the tea stall
Serving all Pakodas & TEA!
(Badam is a Indian term for Almonds, Bhaji, gota, bonda, vada and pakoda are the Indian deep fried snacks)
