[Jenna recently described Santa’s job spec. I said I fancied
the job… and then Tom killed him. Well I couldn’t take that lying down!]
[[by the way… say ‘chance’ like you’re American, unless you are American,
In which case, say it like you’re you]]
*
So Santa is dead or so it is said
Tom C left Soup Creek to ‘put him to bed’
It’s a cold hard truth
That up on the roof
‘You’re taking a dive,’ he angrily said
Mr Red’s vacated his position
I will step up with one precondition
I want gin not brandy
And if I get randy
An elf-ess with no inhibition
What is Cunningham's hidden agenda
Did he hope he would be a contender
He ain’t got a chance
My ass fits the pants
Mr C is a bare faced pretender
But this is a time of goodwill
And warm hearts in spite of the chill
This note that I’ve found
Says free drinks all round
And Tom C is paying the bill
From assassins fleeing but finally spotted,
One’s good image guarding and still it is blotted;
An ill-omened murderous car
Crushing one’s guiltless star!
A team playing out its heart but lifting no trophy,
Zero approbation bagging for one’s philanthropy;
A last- round knockout receiving from a punch-drunk pugilist,
God truthfully serving but still tagged an animist.
Also, forever battling with recognition
While not indifferent to its precondition
Or, of a sudden, experiencing health issues
After stepping into demanding shoes…
The jaws of Devourer Fate
Remain The Widest Gate:
That which would storm one’s path
And for days not important a bath.
World is gypsy dot
Sickness present punishment
No healer is there
Medicines in naughty wombs
Savior on blessed secret pyres
Blind, deaf, dumb, lame gods
In empty buds of praying
Paths made of dead masks
Before the all gods deaths are
Legal sin's unholy child
For destined earth luck
Stories of lives bewildered
Termite fate world's blood
Water of pot the graveyard
Near of evening burning lamps
Naturally comes
Disasters of the tsunami
Now presaging
The unseen flood in world air
Bringing hell in hungriness
Now final signal
All in safe shelters to save
From mighty heinous
But food-less centers for lives
Painful more than epic deaths
Sun and moon
Preexistence of good lights
But covering by the earth
Preexistence of the dark
There's day, night
Lockdown Reign
By the govt to save all lives
But to implement the rules
Please perfectly ensure it-
'Door to door
Healthy foods and medicines
Delivery is precondition
Of Lockdown'

IN RESPONSE TO IF---
In my conjunction, possible my condition provided that
In my condition,
Imagine this,
And into the Response to If… "What if”
Presuming that
Supposing that
As long as, given that, in the event that
And into the Response to If…
Despite the possibility that, no matter whether.
A condition or supposition.
In my uncertainty, doubt; What
In my condition, stipulation, provision,
And into the Response to If…
I constraint, precondition, requirement, specification, restriction no visions
"There is one “ if “ in all this"
Unsure in my complexities, Uncertainties
Unknown bliss

Politics! very complicated,
very tough to consummate
it is everywhere , in every place ,
associated with every man
in every acts he indulges in
in very moment it is played upon
any thing can be happened any time
and the ways of it are not fixed either
no rules , no precondition
it is open to all and all are on the platform
ready to play in their own terms
so I say , bring it, man
in any colour , in any form
I am ready to turn over the table .
i face daily its uncanny music
in every pitch , tone and tunes
in every shape and in all sizes
the taste i test is round
in the corner of my room
i meet with it as it appears like a ghost
feel its pinch in every pages of face book
rolling down my face
a sensation it leaves is very cool
so i say bring it , man
in any length , in any angle
i am ready to turn over the table .
Two-digit growth rate
Is essential for
Least developed countries
To come out of
Vicious circle of poverty
Within a short timeframe
But it’s not the only precondition
For higher standard of living
Of the people
Since if a LDC achieve
Two-digit growth rate
But its majority of people remain poor
The country is considered
Under-developed
Therefore
The LDCs should try their best
To eliminate unemployment
And pseudo-unemployment
As much as possible
And as soon as possible
Moreover
The LDCs should establish
Enough educational institutes
And vocational training centers
In order to meet
Requirement of skilled laborer
In home and abroad
Economic development is the precondition of higher living standard
Therefore we should focus on economic development at first
We know infrastructural development is a must
For economic development of any country
So the government should go for it in the first place
And if necessary they should go for partnership with private entrepreneurs
Now it’s an open market economy
If we want to take off to the sky of prosperity
We need to utilize our own resources including manpower
We need to figure out our competitive advantages
Because it’s not a hard task for us in the information era
Now-a-days tourism is a lucrative sector for any government
Because we are living in the time of globalization
Protectionism is now a history
That’s why
The role of commercial banks and other financial institutions
Is more pivotal than ever
They should provide loan to the industrialists
In such a manner and style
So that the latter can import cutting-edge tech
In order to survive in the fierce competition of open market
