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!"

Wow- as a cover of writing and poetry myself, I think it is such an awesome idea to write limericks in relation to the world. That is really cool!

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!
