Cheers

I'd like to thank you all, 

To your health I'll drink on my wall, 

Here's a glass of wine

Vegetarian, so it's fine, 

Because of you, I've had such a ball.

Killer Veggies

With rat poison your vegetables are tainted, 
With DDT fruits are painted,  
Ingest a toxic cocktail   
That will make you wail, 
If you haven't read this,  you've probably fainted.

Maomata Goes Hi-tech

Mamata hired a Hot Male tech head, 

With smses the electorate will be fed, 

Will voters be confused 

By messages diffuse

And vote for the communists instead.

A Helicopter's Wedding

The 250 crore wedding of the political elite* 

Invited fat cats to a sumptuous retreat, 

Thirty thousand guests

Attended and blessed,

A helicopter for shopping down the street.

*Congress leader Kanwar Singh Tanwar's son married the daughter of another Congressman Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria.

Budget Blues

On Budget Day the status quo prevailed, 

Abject media applauded and hailed,

FM tossed a few crumbs, 

To the meek and the numb, 

While the looters rejoiced and drank ale. 

A Money Laundering Primer

You've illegally stashed billions offshore, 

Morph black into white: that's the score,

Via the FII route

Round trip the loot

To Dalal Street, funds multiply galore.
FII= Foreign Institutional Investors

The Love Merchants

The lovesick season has begun,

Love merchants are enjoying the fun, 

Don't be swayed 

By their wooing B Grade

They'll fleece you honey, better run.

Amar Singh's Pants

Our leaders are mired in sleaze,

Looting taxpayers as they please, 

When asked to recant, 

Amar dropped his pants, 

Performing a political striptease. 

Swindlers List

Mubarak's embezzled 70 billion offshore, 

Massive corruption, the protesters roared, 

Without absolute power,

Our netas' wealth flowers,

Because our PM's an "honest senor."

'Neta' means leader

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."
