Short Roti Poems

Roti dough is at the shop
Onions in a pot
Braised then add the potatoes
Mince and curry too 
Spice to your desire
Rolled up

Baan jaoe gunghat dhak ley saaya mera Meri jaan sarma ley Meri jaan



  Naa egg na roti parothe grarma ley Meri jaan sarma ley Meri jaan

It dawns a day every year,

Taking kitchens busy,

Making corn flour roti,

Children wearing happy,serving,

House to house,neighbors,friends and family,

Hot,hot roti,

Cats chased out,come back in again and again,

My rotis serve to houses coming back to me,a common,

Like my comments on poems,bring back comments!...

because she is  always shy 
In front of a handsome guy
who wants to fly.

and make 
Good move
In life.
