Two Villains

This is the 18th installment of Rhyme and Reason, my weekly set of limericks for the Sunday Times of India edit page.

DUSSEHRA

Ravana, a man of great acclaim
Said to me, frustrated, all aflame,
“I’ve been trying to click
A selfie with a stick
But my ten heads won’t fit in the frame!”

LAND OF GROPE

One day the Statue of Liberty
Broke down & walked off into the sea.
She said, “Trump’s such a pig,
If he should get this gig,
Call me the Statue of Misery.’
