Fight scams with more scams

The Congress High Command combats corruption, 

With renewed vigor and gumption, 

Probes are such a chore,

So we'll have scams by the score, 

To cheat the nation with supreme deception. 

Relationships Redefined

 

In Congress there's a new kinship equation,

For a mother-in-law is not a relation,

So logic dictates

That a wife's not a mate,

When Mammon* commands fervent adulation.

 *Riches; wealth; the god of riches

The Minor-League Courtiers

The Congress CMs were chosen to prostrate, 

Before the Monarch, The Almighty Potentate, 

Their minds Lilliputian, 

Appointed for diminution,

"They also serve who only stand and wait."

Inspired by  C.L. Manoj's column "Congress' Lilliputian satraps" in the Economic Times

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?

Figures and The Figurehead

Food inflation's stubbornly high,

At sixteen percent figures don't lie,

The poor are dazed, 

The PM's unfazed, 

Because he's a figurehead, that's why.

Anarchy in the Assembly

 

The bribe was twenty five crores, 

To swim to the Congress' shore, 

So the MLAs* slugged, 

And behaved like thugs, 

In the Assembly, it was civil war.

*Members of the Legislative Assembly (Karnataka)

Terms of Endearment

If an Indian woman has you transfixed,
Don't kiss her say the Tourism hicks,
If you are really keen,
Find and kiss a beauty queen,
As for the rest, play safe, discuss politics! 
(Travel advisory to visitors to The Commonwealth Games)

Compliant Cringing Networks

Over Rahul, the media does drool,

Treating the public like twits and fools,

The sycophancy's crass,
On news channels en masse,

Perpetuating feudal rule.

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,

Then a falling bridge knocks you dead in the shade.

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.

The hazards of swimming

Swimmers failed the Games dope tests, 

Selectors will now choose the very best,

Jayalalitha may be rotund,

Mayawati will leave you stunned,

And the masses will succumb to cardiac arrest.

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.

Oh darling, I love your sweat equity

With his third wife, Tharoor looks pretty, 

Celebrating his wedding in four cities, 

With Sunanda in tow,

And a seventy crore glow,

"Oh darling, I love your sweat equity."
