Davos Drivel

The Davos speakers are suave and civil, 

But rant mind numbing drivel,  

Their opinions hurled,

Haven't changed the world, 

As our brains begin to wither and shrivel.

Loot and Scoot

 

Has Pranab granted a license to loot? 

In Swiss banks, embezzled funds take root,

For double taxation reasons, 

It's grand larceny season, 

So politicos can now plunder and scoot.

Deck Chairs Rearranged

The Cabinet was finally reshuffled, 
Did the PM really want a kerfuffle, 
Some deck chairs rearranged,
The public's been shortchanged,
Were sulking ministers the only ones ruffled?

Happy Birthday Queen Mahamaya

Mayawati is now Mahamaya,
On her birthday she does aspire,
Present garlands of cash
And an ATM for the stash,
Disobey, the consequences will be dire.

2G Maths

Kapil Sibal may be a lawyer who's bright, 

Auditing 2G spectrum overnight, 

Now we all have skills,

To display at will, 

Becoming brain surgeons at the speed of light.

The Bofors Ghost Returns

The Congress party began to relax, 

No threat from the supine media hacks, 

Then rose Bofors' ghost,  

And the Taxman's boast,  

"Take 'commissions', but pay your tax." 

Moving the Inflation Goalpost

The economists rested in Heaven,

For the economy began to leaven, 

"Inflation at year end, 

Six percent," we contend, 

Did they mean December 2011.

The Onionee

At ninety rupees onions are dear, 
Rupee's worthless, Reserve Bank fears 
"The onion you see 
Is the new currency,"  
Says the Bank's Governor in tears. 

Oligarchs Unlimited

India's ravaged by oligarchs, 

Politicos, corporations and sharks,

The country's being plundered,

But the media won't thunder,  

Political sponsors ensure it won't bark.

All India Radia

 

Lobbyist Radia's brief it was said,

Was to appoint Raja the Telecom head,

Oil, land, and gas,

Resources looted en masse,

By whom is this banana republic led?

The Black Gown and the Pigeon

Radia's black gown it seems was chic,

When phone calls to Tata were leaked, 

Her phone was encrypted,

But calls were transcripted,

Niira, please deploy a pigeon that speaks. 

Stash under my Bed

Lobbyist Radia allegedly swore 

Stalin's mother received 600 crores,*

The latter then said,

"It won't stash under my bed, 

Where can I get some more?"

*1 crore = 10 million

India's Unique Inventions

Applying for anticipatory bail,

Is a stratagem that often doesn't fail, 

"An offer" to resign,

Feigning illness a sign

That you're desperate to stay out of jail.

Obama's Discovery of India

Greeting Congressmen, he wasn't naughty, 
Nor was Obama distant or haughty, 
Meeting Rahul, the middle-aged, 
Obama declared as a sage, 
"India's dynamic youth are all over forty."

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.
