Old Men of Indian Politics – Limerick
  Loading... |
English Poetry |
Aren’t there too many old men in the Indian Politics?
old and shrewd, they whip and whisk,
these crooked shrewd men,
would stay on till when?
Bed-ridden on a slip disc or till they flee on a frisk!
A marvellous and thoughtful poem, Ulhas.
@medhini,
Thanks a lot
Nice one. Liked it very much.
I think something brisk should happen to frisk them away so they retire in peace and let the younger group manage the affairs of the nation.
@Vishvnand,
Thanks you sir, this type of poetry is new for me…..thanks
until the last breath, they would continue being politicians
i think they never dream of retiring

@Parespeare,
Yes you are right…………. 🙂
great
beautiful
@rajdeep,
Thank you sir
Nice one, do you not think that it would look and read better justified left and capitalised. Just a suggestion.
@Ray,
Ray, thanks for the comment. before posting the Limerick I studied the type of poetry on the web and found out that most of the web site have put the format of the poetry like I have, so I thought that, that was the right way of doing it…..
Thanks sir….
Seconding the comments of Mr. Ray, I still feel satiated with the deep
and pensive position of physically unfit politicians, for whom there is no
age-bar, nor any need of medical fitness prerequisite as is necessary
even at the lowest cadre of class IV service in the nation, distinctly
India, Pakistan and /or similar Asian countries – as compared to other
American or Europian countries, where administrators/politicians are
all through martial and physically stout ! More serious is the case when
even after their political or physical failure, they never fail to cast their
sons/daughters/wives just to take after them. En effect, there ought to
be a prerequisite of minimum academic qualification, age limit as well
as physical/medical fitness to hold the responsibility of governance
in too vast a country like India ! Alas ! It could be so, Dear Ulhas !
