Slick Limerick 1

His is an unpronounceable name
Who at times basks in soup's fleeting fame
'Lion of the world' his name means
Nothing like that in his genes
To love all is JAGATHSIMHAN's aim




for  PD's  "Slick Limerick"contest
S.Jagathsimhan Nair,  21 sept  11

For SKAT's on 20 May 13

For Regina Riddle's contest.

This REALLY IS A SLICK limerick, Jag. And as someone who has worked with many from India, abbreviating names do not rob one of his luster. This is splendid. I am revising my Rajasthani Puppet Poem to include your famous name! Blessings, poet. GWendolen
