A Foodie Exhorts! Poem by Ashish Dimri

Your barb seems
To be 'Jhaalmoori'
But, I still
Treat it as 'Sandesh'

Your pun seems
To be 'Vadapao'
But, I still
Relish it as 'ShriKhand'

Your criticism seems
To be piping 'Rasam'
But, I relish it
As sweet 'Payasam '

Your snide seems to be
Red chilli’s 'Acchaar'
But, I relish it
As 'Ladoo '


To hate or deride
Is not my Cuppa
As, I still enjoy
Your creative 'Golguppa'!
