Subrata Majumdar<\/a> has a rejoinder:<\/p>\nThe New Erection<\/b>
\nby Subrata Majumdar<\/i><\/p>\n
Would you like a lobongolotika?
\nOr some other form of aphro-desi-ka?
\nThe holy paunch faces serious threats
\nFrom Gold’s Gym and such bourgeois outlets
\nPreserve our bhuri, we Bengalis must
\nA symbol of our glory, about to bite the dust
\nLet the paunch be the new erection
\nTo show young bongs the right direction
\nI propose a paunchy statue as public art
\nTo grace the crossing at Gariahat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In response to a friend’s comment on Facebook that Bengali paunches are holy, I offer you this little rhyme:<\/p>\n
Ode to a Bengali Paunch<\/b>
\nby Amit Varma<\/i><\/p>\n
A Bengali paunch may be roly-poly,
\nBut I deny rumours that it’s holy.
\nIt is the center of base desire,
\nThe origin of a Bong’s carnal fire.
\nWe get turned on by mastaard feesh,
\nBy paabda, rohu and illeesh.
\nPorn for you is chingri for me,
\nIt’s divine, but not holy, you see.
\nWould you like a Lobongolotika?<\/p>\n
