“The statesman shears the sheep, the politician skins them.” Austin O’Malley
She was more verbivore than herbivore
a cuckoo-flower who habited a simple meliorism
that the pasture was always better down the road
paradise in four-leafed clover she’s heard,
just awaiting the jumbuck special, ticket cloven.

हॉंथ खाली है तेरे शहर से जाते जाते...जान होती मेरी तो जान लुटाते जाते जाते...अब तो हर हाथ का पत्थर मुझे पहचानता है... उम्र गुज़री है तेरे शहर मे आते जाते।।
I'am a Bong so fish sticks to my everything from fingers to thoughts. I love to cook and travel too! Who doesn't?! Duh! This blog is a reflection of all my passions and of course my eccentricities.. Well mostly my eccentricities! :P

As always your lines are educational. Just hope the sheep doesn’t miss the beauty of the journey on her way to the four-leafed clover. Thanks for sharing your entertaining…and educational lines.
