The Indian Government rationalized the GST (VAT) structure thereby reducing the prices of most goods and services. While this is expected to give a fillip to consumption, with an introduction of a 40% sin goods category not everyone is rejoicing though…
With complex rates all in the bin
Consumption is what we hear is in
As sales are set to tee off
Hearing many a scoff
Saying it’s so taxing for us to now sin
It is just over a month since CoffeeDay and i realised i did not post my Limerick out here.
Everyone is sipping Matcha and talking wellness. As for me I am still chasing clarity one filter coffee at a time…
Yes sir, on this is what we all grew
The best, I say is this heady brew
Of the South Indian filter kind
The talk is of a healthier find
What Ma(t)cha nothing but coffee is my view
Appalams aka Poppadums is the basic accompaniment of any South Indian meal. Whenever I encounter these addictive culprits my minimum count is half a dozen and so I shudder to think what would have happened to the puny me at this wedding…
At a marriage in Kerala began a fight
When the diners said it was their right
For an extra serving of appalams
So amidst the beating of drums
They showed off who got how much might
So what if he is the King the pen does not care nor does time…
In the visitor’s book after he did sign
The king had all the right to whine
Not only did the pen leak
But time had quite a cheek
To get ahead by a day which is just not fine
So this Capuchin monkey got 911 right in a 1 in 28,561 possibility…
When a blank call came to 9 1 1
The police in anticipation did run
And headed to the zoo
Wondering it was who
Route the monkey had dialled just for fun
Scientists have found that by soaking soil with alcohol plants survive even when they do not get water. There will be a high demand for such heady vegetables…
During drought when soil is dry
Plants do wilt whatever you try
Now a scientific study shows
That any plant healthily grows
With a tipple & when they hic get high
All of us would have heard of the controversial US Supreme Court judgement on abortion rights. This woman who was driving alone – or was she – was caught driving in a high occupancy lane and her defence was not only ingenious but also absolutely tenable!
The cop said in the high occupancy lane you can’t be
The lady said we are 2 – the one in my tummy & me
He told a pax has to be outside, there’s a flaw
Nah she told him you better read the law
Let me tell you this sir, you reap what you sow said she
Is it to get away from his harassing wife or that unrestricted view of every house and the pond in the village made Ram Pravesh make the top of a 100 foot palm tree his house? Or, maybe, it was both…
The situation in the village was quite grim
As Ram Pravesh’s wife kept beating him
He made his dwelling on the palm tree
With a peek into every home as a bird free
The chances of him coming down are but slim
In Mathura simians spread their tentacles
Not even sparing the magistrate’s spectacles
And as they did flee
His flunkies hiding their glee
Ran behind screaming you blistering barnacles
A simple technique to hide that nice little rendezvous from one’s spouse
The paramour and he had a great jaunt
The passport stampings how could he flaunt
Chewing off the evidence
The future is clearly tense
Between the wife and law who would more haunt
