Short Calcutta Poems

Mother Teresa of Calcutta,
Was a bit of a nutter,
She upset the slums, 
When playing the drums....

A zany Zimbalist from Zimbabwe
Stopped me on Calcutta Road with a, “hey!”
We are not the same
For I am quite tame
I liked the fact he was merry and gay....

Slippery slide


An indigent man from Calcutta
Would bathe once a week in some butter
A slippery mistake
He walked over a grate
And forever was lost down the gutter...

I took a donkey 
Over the border from 
Nepal into India
In Calcutta 
I had tea
When the hotel
Proprietor after checking out
Asked; me 'Any tips?'
I misunderstood & said
'No need.'...

There was an old chap from Calcutta,
Who bought a new wood as a putter.
‘A bogey?’ he coughed.
‘This green isn’t soft -’
And swallowed a ball in mid-splutter.

They all heard him say in Calcutta,
addressing the ball, with his putter,
"Before we begin,
I'd quite like to win,
so please, pop it in," he would mutter.

India we do not see snow
Uff! to much heat you know
I want to have a snowball fight
Build a snowman with delight
Snowboards fast down the hill
Fall down like jack and jill
But in Calcutta there is lot of heat
no snow here very sad fete...

Mother Teresa

Not like the Mona Lisa 
A bit like father time
Does not smile like Gandhi 
( Quote ) "Peace begins with a smile.”  


“Come be My light,” 


This luminous messenger of God
Belong to the world
Missionary of Charity, a “mother to the poor,”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

There was a young man named Rajid Dutta
Who lived in the city of Calcutta 
Got a flash from a girl
Who also gave a twirl
Embarrassed he fell face down in the gutta'

A grumpy old cheesmaker called Mulqueen
Was servicing his cheese making machine 
He replaced some worn out bands
It fired up took off his hands 
Now he's in big demand at Halloween....

Aching is my heart for you
Withering my very soul.
A crack will turn me pale blue
Only you can halt the toll.

Teresa of Calcutta
Empathize for my poor sake.
Why not look at this nutter
Hoping to be yours to take.

After all, I am to blame
Killed of my wonderful good.
All I am is a failed game
Prayers to you under my hood.

Only the faithful are helped
Not because of selfishness
Of sheer gratitude for life.

This Indian doll is a lot like their cuisine.
Hot and spicy in the mouth, she surely is mean!
That’s the sensation I get whenever we kiss.
No western women I know can measure up to this!
This sweetheart is full of sugar and spice.
She is both sweet and hot, and everything nice.
To find her, I didn’t have to go to Mumbai or Calcutta.
She makes her present home right here in America.
I consider this Indian doll a wonderful dish.
Getting her attention was my number one wish.
