Limerick R12 Police Poem by Rajnish Manga
Limerick R12 Police
Limerick R12 Police
Whoever you are- Neta, Pundit or a Mullah,
Never call policemen by the name of Thulla;
They also deserve respect,
And Sir, as a matter of fact,
They are not the descendants of Count Dracula.
We all need respect on earth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
So amusing and enjoyable. A nice limerick I like most. TFS. ... 10
It is right to respect policemen, not give them an insulting nickname. Even the word 'cops' is doubtful even though it is commonly used in newspapers. Well written.
Yes, the police force also deserves dignity like any other high profile agency meant to protect civilians and to maintain law and order on 24x7 basis round the year.
Interesting words on behalf of the police....thanks for sharing this poem here friend
Here in Pakistan, too, policemen are called Thulla, we forget that they are from us. Enjoyed this limerick as I very well understood the line They are not the descendants of Count Dracula.

yes, i can now understand why the Indian police would not appreciate being called Thulla! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Wikipedia Thulla Thulla, born September 6,1968 in Copenhagen, is a Danish Pop and Jazz singer. She is a self-taught singer and composer, mainly influenced, as she states, by Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Marilyn Monroe and Björk[citation needed]. She has several great Jazz musicians from Denmark in her bands, the Thulla's Organic Orchestra and since 2005 also the Thullabandulla Band. The songs are a mix of own compositions and international standards. Her first album was released in 1999.[1] Her records are sold in Denmark as in Germany, Japan and Portugal. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - pan•dit (pănˈdĭt) ► [or pundit............which is an English word also :) ] n.

NOW i read the poet's note. THANKS. bri :) and i just read Valsa's (a good PH friend to me) and see the reference to Count D is based on the old concept; i don't know if anyone in the u.s. thinks that about police here, but in the 70s (1970s) some protesters etc. called the police PIGS!
Thanks for a well-researched critique of the poem. This is also a great learning experience for me.
