Mixed Up Stuff Biryani

Mixed up stuff in a dumpster truck Placed in front, lost out lady luck Cut up chunks of a coral snake Left in an oven too cold to bake The dyed rice in a toxic brew That if eaten leaves eyes askew Yellow red and burnt out browns Craftily topped with lemony crowns Seriously! Carrots too! In the milieu Gulp and keep in a murderous stew No mutton or chicken or even beef Dead and barren like a burnt out reef Charred remains of onion flakes Now have to eat whatever it takes Pooch wagged and lowered his snout Hair raised cat, lost, screeched about Flies too nose dived into the morass Like so many soldiers dying of gas Girl who cooked it will kick me out Send me spiting in a coughing bout original saadat tahir 22nd Mar, 2013 Islamabad.
