Oh wait, I knew one rhyme when I was in school. This is how it goes -


Open the door..

darling, open the door..

why are you angry so..



(..repeat..)



I will take you up the mountain,

and show you..



...errr...



Ooops, this was when I was in undergrad! Sorry, wrong time, wrong place for this rhyme, lest your discerning readers revolt! ;)

anantha · 3 years ago

Btw, the above mentioned "rhyme" was to be sung in the tune of "Suraangani"! Aah, those days when poets reigned!

How cud I let this pass! Ok this is as original as it gets, and what better inspiration than the world's greatest joke-book himself :)


George and Dick

went up the oil creek

to fetch WMD and nuclear reactor

George fell down

and made of himself a clown

and Dick came gun-totting after.

Up got George,

and the clown deeply thought

what made this plan a cropper

He went to bed

all mixed up in his thick head

regretting his dumb faux pas.

Besides mockery, did you know that Nursery rhymes are totally valueless! "Ring-o Ring-o Roses..." was actually written as a means to convey the the meaning of Plague (black death). It is shameful and a little too sad that little children are taught these rhymes!


I would rather teach my children Avvaiyar and Valluvar!

Hilarious piece!

Loved the Mika one..think am actually gonna start singing it!;-)

Aslan · 3 years ago

u have non-desi nursery rhymes also. what the heck might as well add somethin arbit. herez a forward i got. its a corruption of hotel c for mals:


On the road to Trivandrum

Coconut oil in my hair

Warm smell of avial

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw a bright pink tube-light

My tummy rumbled, I felt weak and thin

I had to stop for a bite

There he stood in the doorway

Flicked his mundu in style

And I was thinking to myself

I don't like the look of his sinister smile

Then he lit up a petromax

Muttering "No power today"

More Mallus down the corridor

I thought I heard them say



Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-fonia

Such a lousy place,

Such a lousy place (background)

Such a sad disgrace,

Plenty of bugs at the Hotel Kerala-fonia

Any time of year

Any time of year (background)

It's infested here

It's infested here



His finger's stuck up his nostril

He's got a big, thick mustache

He makes an ugly, ugly noise

But that's just his laugh

Buxom girls clad in pavada

Eating banana chips

Some roll their eyes, and

Some roll their hips

I said to the manager

My room's full of mice

He said,

Don't worry, saar,I sending you

meen karri, brandy and ice

And still those voices were crying from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them pray



Save us from the Hotel Kerala-fonia

Such a lousy place,

Such a lousy place (background)

Such a sad disgrace

Trying to live at the Hotel Kerala-fonia

It is no surprise

It is no surprise (background)

That it swarms with flies



The blind man was pouring

Stale sambar on rice

And he said

We are all just actors here

In Silk Smitha-disguise

And in the dining chamber

We gathered for the feast

We stab it with our steely knives

But we just can't cut that beef

Last thing I remember

I was writhing on the floor

That cockroach in my appam-stew was the culprit,

I am sure

Relax, said the watchman,

This enema will make you well

And his friends laughed as they held me down



God's Own Country? Oh, Hell!





The Yeagles

Strike each day, seven days a week, no work, no reap…

HaftaMag is not too bad. I enjoyed reading some of the articles, except Venkatesan's! Why on Earth did you allow him to write in such bad language. It's disgusting. And his gramaticcal errors, oh GOd!


If you want the mag to do well, please invest time in reading thro articles before posting them up. As a publisher myself, take this as strong advice. Another advice - take people like Venkatesan out of the writer's team!

Two consecutive posts in two very different styles, both very good indeed. I salute you, sir.


But you really should have some castor oil on tap for readers like Aparna K. And maybe a few beers for Aslan.

IndianArchie · 3 years ago

By the way, did you know that even in England, 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' got into trouble with some politically correct types? They want the rhyme changed to 'Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep'.

IndianArchie · 3 years ago

Oh and one more report on the same.


An excerpt:



The children will be asked to sing "sad," "blue," "pink," "black," "white," "happy," "hopping," and "bouncing" when describing the sheep to encourage the children to extend their vocabulary and use up energy.

Hilarious!! Mika Mika and Aa Aa Arjun was awesome!!
well, I cant think of a rhyme but I have a song..



Sambhar of 69



I had my first real six rupees,

stole it from my father's pants.

went to a madrasi hotel,

to eat the sambhar of 69.

Me and some kadke dost,



had it all and we caught bukhaar,

jimy puked, joey got ulcers,

and Bagga ne maari dakar.



Oh when I went back there now,

the food was as stale as ever,

and though it was 1999,

still the sambhar was being served over there,



that was the worst food of my life.



Therez no use in complaining,

when you got no other place to eat,

rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic, but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah



standing there waiting outside,

nurse told me I will wait forever,

oh and when I held my breath,

I knew that I had to use that loo there

That was the worst food of my life.



Back to the sambhar of 69.



Man I was getting killed,

I was full and restless,

I needed to unwind,

I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!!!!



And now the dhabas are changing,

new dishes have come and gone,

sometimes when I pass that old madrasi lane, I still smell it, I can't be wrong.



Standing in those unwashed clothes,

the waiters still call me in there,

oh the way my nostrils burn,

I know that it will be served forever,

what was the worst food of my life.



yeah it was the sambhar of 69,



the sambhar, the sambhar, the sambhar of 69

How about this take on Solomon Grundy?



insert average_lok_sabha_mp

Extorted on a Monday,

Raped on Tuesday,

Assaulted on Wednesday,

Murdered on Thursday,

Rigged polls on Friday,

Elected on Saturday,

Buried the Lok Sabha on Sunday.

That was the end of

Indian Democracy.



The variable average_lok_sabha_mp may be assigned any one of the constants from the following set of elements:
