On Why Gandhiji Needs His Glasses

An UPA leader praying at Rajghat:
-------------------------------------
"Dear Gandhiji, see how your masses
Are up in arms, fighting the brasses
This business of fasting,
(Which you started) is casting
More trouble in our paths as time passes".

And Gandhiji replied:
--------------------------------------


"I must admit, even as we speak,
That I can't see a thing - vision's weak.
Let me go get my glasses,
While you sit and count grasses--
And fast - it's real good for physique!"

  5. Only his specs, Gandhi's lost
    Now his stick should remain intact
    The poor old soul in heaven
    Has to move years on end
    To find his goat that lost its track!
