Status of Salt

STATUS OF SALT

               Our staple food demands salt: Compulsory!
                          Unavoidable!
                      To digest or to taste
                         making palatable.
                     
                  Dessert or beverage
                   liked by average
                    sweet dish to relish
                       But of course:
                   Cannot be a substitute
                     of salt-based main course.

                     In Bengali proverb status of salt is well-said.
                     “Debt of SALT can never be repaid.”     


                                       AND
                                     VANITY
                                of Ocean and Sea
                            exhibiting aqua opulence,
                          storage of salt in abundance.
                                 Strong SALINITY
                                     in water’:
                                  Unthinkable!
                                   Undrinkable!
