Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Clerihew

The Dragon's Fire

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
In buttonhole set daily a red rose new
His charisma couldn’t beguile the neighbor
The dragon disgorged fire in ‘62’s war.

January 24, 2019

(Note : Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) was the first Prime Minister
 of independent India. His charismatic leadership initiated the offer
of peaceful coexistence, goodwill and brotherhood to China, but
as a result of Sino-Indian border dispute China attacked India in 1962.)
