Doctor Ram: the Soup's Golden Voice

our beloved brother from India
Dr. Ram’s words are better than gold

board his magic carpet
woven with wit, intellect and insight

soar through sagas steeped in mythology
captivating revelations on cultural tradition
unique perspectives on historical events

clever concepts conveyed with humor
psychology, philosophy, behavior observations
materialize as “Mehtaisms”

stirring the soup
adding spice to the broth
supporting work of members new and old

our international melting pot
enriched by the work of a Literary Doctor

salute a special sage who graces us with gifts
Dr. Ram’s words are better than gold



* Dedicated to Dr. Ram Mehta in honor of Joe Maverick’s “Better than Gold” contest

Jack Horne March 26, 2011 at 8:41 AM A great poem for a great guy : ) Have you gone fishing today? Or sticking with the tidying? I need your advice please. It probably doesn't matter, as I told Gert, but he's posted just his 'half' of the poem and I posted both poems - does Gert need to add mine or should I remove his poem? Love, as ever, Jack
