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
