Nitish and Nawaz

This is the 44th installment of Rhyme and Reason, my weekly set of limericks for the Sunday Times of India edit page.

SPIN AND TURN

Ashwin and Jadeja felt the burn.
Ash said, “Amit, I feel great concern.
We could be in the bin.
Modi’s so good at spin,
And Nitish is a master of turn.”

SHARAAFAT

Nawaz Sharif is out of the game.
I asked, “Tell me bro, who is to blame?”
He said, “Amit, don’t poke.
It’s all a cosmic joke.
See the damn irony in my name!”
