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!"
