This is the 16th installment of Rhyme and Reason, my weekly set of limericks for the Sunday Times of India edit page.
CAUVERY
Wanting to solve the Cauvery mire,
A neta said to his goons for hire,
‘It is getting hotter.
Everyone wants water,
So let’s go set some buses on fire.’
TRAGEDY NIGHTS
Kapil Sharma told a sorry tale
Of corruption on a massive scale.
The netas we elect,
For a chilling effect,
Made his life a cautionary tale.
