OH TO BE IN CALCUTTA.....OH NO, KOLKATA...
Here, noisy street protests often are seen.
Time plenty, people have; to scream n create a din.
Traffic unruly and often chaotic is,
Parking is a nightmare, that doesn't cease.
The buildings here, grand and stately were.
Today dilapidated and in a pathetic condition are;
"London bridge is falling down", goes an old old song.
But here they actually fall. There is something very wrong.
From superiority complex, suffer the Bongs;
Because, above all they are, in music n songs.
In speaking, often very loud they are;
You actually can hear them from far.
Educated, well- read , in literature;
proud they are of their rich Bengali culture.
English, many know; but their accent, "Baba re baba" !
"O" soft, is used, loudly as"Au", tauba-tauba !
A Bong carries a lil Bengal, goes wherever he;
This abroad, very easily and often you see.
