The other day
On my way into the fray
I passed a farmer
Being questioned by a lama
”Why have you just thrown
200 million seeds down the drain?
Don’t you realize
That’ll make you go lame?”
The farmer burst out with laughter
“I’ve never heard anything dafter”
”Bharat’s renowned for its rice harvests
And its snake charmers “
Replied the lama
”It must have a well-stocked larder,”
Conceded the farmer
