The Bombay Grocery
Shyam*, finds cat food at special rate near the door.
Goes to check out to manager of the grocery store
Doubting manager asks him to bring cat if he has one
Shyam returns with his small cat to buy food anon.
Next day Shyam comes with a bag in his hand
And asks the manager to put his hand in the bag down to the end
Manager puts his hand and shouts “Pooh, Doodie pure”
Shyam says, “yes, sir, I want the toilet paper sure”

Collaboration of Ram Mehta and Shyam Mehta
The poem is partly a fictional write. First Stanza is a real event but the second stanza
is fictional. But I wanted to test my grandson's rhyming talent. So wrote
the first stanza and asked him to write second stanza with fun and humor,
of course with my suggestion that suppose he goes to buy toilet paper
and the owner needs a proof. * Shyam is an Indian name. He
is a 9th Grade student in Charlotte, NC.
