I think Salman Rushdie is the greatest writer
Of the last century,
Never will there be like him,
An author fearless and undaunted,
Indefatigable in his mission.
It is perhaps in the personality which but matters,
In his guts of presentation,
In his pose and posture,
Mark him,
His beards and the glasses,
A charming personality indeed.
Sir Salman Rushdie knighted, a spokesman of the age
With the guts and vigour of own,
Fearing none,
A symbol of the freedom of speech and expression,
A writer exceptional.
