Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit
"It's Kalmadi's fault 
That the scams did vault 
And causing my hysterical fits."

Rent-a-chappal





















Suresh Kalmadi was not dismayed, 
When a chappal* was lobbed his way, 
He demanded a pair,
Of the thrower's footwear,
To rent at three thousand a day.
Chappal=slipper

The Medieval Maoist













A revolutionary on the make,
"Sickular" Roy has ideas to bake,
In a Maoist stew,
Stir a Taliban brew,
Is she dotty or a certified fruitcake?

CWG's Scam Stars




The beggars and workers have been whisked away,
Dumped with rubble before break of day,
Delhi must be bedecked, 
With scammers unchecked,
Like Kalmadi and Dixit on display.

The Delhi Adventure Games

















At the roadside kerb, you stand dismayed,
Waiting for a passing VIP cavalcade,
There's a sudden shootout,
For terrorists lurk about,

Delhi's obstacle race













Delhi's citizens run an obstacle race,
Straddling rubble mounds at a quick pace,
Mosquitoes bite their guts,
Buffaloes kick their butts
And hurl them in the flood waters' embrace.

Nuking mosquitoes













Delhi's mosquitoes are adept at evasion, 
So the army's been deployed on this occasion,
Soon the navy will be hired, 
And the air force will fire 
Missiles to nuke the pestilential invasion.

Breaking News: Militant Mosquitoes target Games















The Games' venues the athletes will throng,
Down with dengue they'll be before long,
With sneezes and coughs,
The stadium's roof will blow off,
They'll flee singing Rahman's lousy song.

Weapons of mass infection














After CWG's venues were ordained,
Mosquitoes multiplied in every pool and drain,
In multi-crore grounds,
Mosquitoes splash around,
Citizens be damned, let dengue fever reign.

Delhi's Fort Loo

Fortress Loo at Defence Colony Market












 


The MCD decided to push through,
An eatery above a loo,
But the residents raised a stink,
It's no place to eat or drink,
Welcome to Delhi's Waterloo.

The UnCommon Wealth Games















Delhi's citizens are enraged, 
The sportsmen are disengaged, 
The Games costs have ballooned, 
To enrich the nation's goons, 
'Tis for political leaders, the Games are staged.

Fight terror with sixth sense

Delhi lives constantly under the threat of imminent terror attacks, so the Lieutenant Governor Tejendra Khanna advised the edgy, nervous residents of the capital to develop vigilance as a collective sixth sense. Translation: we the serfs are left to fend for ourselves.


Here's my riposte in verse to the Governor:

Be vigilant with your sixth sense,
Says Delhi's Governor who's quite dense,
Police will protect the elite
Not lumpen masses in the street,
We commoners now live in perennial suspense.

Advice to women jogging in Delhi

In Delhi, should you contemplate an evening jog
You'll swiftly be chased by a street dog
Lusty louts will stalk you
Muggers will dispossess you
You'll wind up in a municipal ditch dead as a log.
