In ancient looms of my homeland,
Fairies once shuttled across threads of rainbows
Weaving folklores of gods and goddesses.

Our tapestry needed no haberdashery of
Brabubahanas and Chitrngadas or a vijay panchali,
For no tantric-needle knitted our folktales.

In Dickensian time 
Upon sunset hour
Overshadowing Thames
Is London Tower
Blackened cobble streets
Shimmer in the rain
Big Ben at Westminster
Chimes an eight bells refrain

for a nice cup of tea

A toast.......
Of elegant swagger
From a "cocked" tail
On all four legs

With moves of
Fred Astaire, he graces
Your attention with
Haughty green eyes and a black satin jacket

Hi skits.......he scats
And Doobedee Ohblawda
Vanishes in a flash
Of "pitter-pat-pats"

Coooooool.........like a tall sip

A fine country squire name of Zachary,
Made a fortune in his haberdashery.
The ladies and gents,
Put out a fair pence,
In return for the good squire's advisory.

He fancied a dowager lady,
Known as quiet, fastidious Miss Sadie.

Bruno enrolls in the tertiary
For a full program in Fishery.
Dad had judged his first course treachery
Or Bruno risking self trickery...

In their lusty town much revelry,
In which fish faces not rivalry:
Fish more than meat touched by...
