Voodoo Planning

Earn less than rupees twenty eight,

You're poor, states a policy potentate

If you earn twenty nine,

Order Burgundy wine

Says the wizard in economics debates.

U-turn

Cotton exports would face a ban,

Announced the government with elan,

Then the ban was revoked,

In one swift stroke,

Are U-turns a new game plan?

Red and Blue

Paint Kolkata blue, Mamata said, 

Residents' hearts were filled with dread,

They revolted and complained

She hollered with disdain

"Because the Communists painted the town red."
