Sataric Verses on Auto Drivers, Stock Markets, Marriage and Inflation

Bengaluru Auto Drivers

Moves like king of streets

Abruptly he turns

For many it’s not about the fare

It’s not about reaching someone somewhere

It is all about chatting with friends without a care

Request or urge him to come there

With looks like a maharaja of the yore

He with his eyes will suggest you are an eye sore

And continue with his snore

 There are a obliging few

meters as honest and resolute as the morning dew

no rhyme or rhythm for its upward move

Before you realise you have pledged a fortune.

Stock Markets

BULLS AND BEARS WE ARE THEY SAY

YOUR MONEY IS WHAT THEY PREY

AT OUR COST, THEY MAKE HAY

THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE STRONG SAID ONE EXPERT

ANOTHER SAID, CHARTS ARE WAITING TO SPURT

INVEST FOR THE LONG TERM SAID MANY

ALL BOOKED THEIR PROFITS AND TOOK MY LAST PENNY

HERE WE ARE THE LAMBS

BELIEVING IN MARGINS AND DERATIVES

NOT READING THE DISCLAIMERS

ONLY BELIEVING IN THE STOCK TIPS

Marriage

Marriage, Marriage, the eternal mirage.

Begins in a garden of urge,

Soon turns into a ring of umbrage

Having babies is the default result

Rearing them is the life-long effect.

Remaining committed is the vow

Doing so in devil’s paradise is the woe.

Like my relatives and unlike yours is a couple’s mantra

Ridiculing each others’ is their agenda

Mutual distrust is what they share

Ego massaging is what they care

Marriage, Marriage, the riveting mirage

Arranged or love, without emotional bondage

becomes a horrible sausage

Inflation

Has no logic or reason

Everyday reduces my ration

Economists say it is good for economy

They speak so to improve their economy.

Inflation is like one’s spouse

Always irritating like a louse.

Some say it is due to increased money supply

For everything, a loan I have to apply

In the grammar of inflation

Dal is the interjection

Saving is the adverb

Apple is eaten only in the proverb.
