' Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Get it out with Optrex..! ' Spike Milligan.
The Royal Afgan* Hotel *(spelling as on hotel door)
Stands thinly in Old Delhi
Oh my, what a choice
With Mohan Pudni asleep
At reception deeply
The Royal Afgan with names from 1970
Fingered on old glass
And a three legged dog pissing
On the pillar of the front door
Without needing to lift a leg
Ah.. but you see its all free
After you pay the price
Here in India
______________
Next door at Jelebi Wallah shop
Sweet things cook in hot ghee
And Moheet the assistant
Has lost his front teeth to sugar rot
He laughs toothless not embarrassed
Next door you will be finding it
Is Royal Afgan isnt it
What manner of traveller has stayed
Who preceded Mohan Pudni
And how did the three legged dog
Learn to stand
With urgency, all of these things
I must know.
