Information

I was in the inn with the matron having my ration
of palatable onion soup so as to set things in motion,
then came in a fat man with a bad notion,
who opened his mouth to spread wrong information
about the people and state of my nation,
I stretched my arm to hit his jaw at the root,
which I missed and aimed for his knee and foot,
he staggered backward and fell on the tile mat,
knocking off fish tins and a bottle of martini,
whose smell diffuses  faster than a fart,
He stood up with a swollen face as if rammed by a ram,
he looked ruffled and said"Oh!,I meant no harm",
his hair unkempt and dusty like someone from the farm,
His crafty nature and wry smile is something to frown at,
I left for the gallery before the exhibition of the art,
The room or hall arrangement has a different format
with the caption 'fat rat and main train' classic art,
This year organization is a departure from the norm,
Then came in a fat man and he said 'my name is Tom',
I stared in amazement,could he be the same man or not?
how can such a man be the organizer? 'what a rot!' ,
I wobbled out in anger with a different notion,
As I dropped the Info-Art Mag into the trash for wrong information.
