Junglimerics Revisited

Musings of a wild kind – in rhyme! Here is the next edition of limerics by the self-proclaimed “Half-mad Know-mad”

 

Butterflies puddling at Sipna

Mud n salt, nothing beats the chakhna

The lizard Calotis

Not letting this amiss

Pounce, bounce – Oops! It broke its hip na!

 

 

The leopards of Bera

Only after sunset come out of their dera

In the pitch dark night

Fearing scorpion n snake bite

Guides often take along a Sapera

 

 

The Croc fell in love with the snouty

Slim n trim – Oh! What a beauty!

I know that she’s Gharial

Will ring up Just Dial

After changing my DNA, we’ll sip together green tea

 

 

The Pit Viper hissed to the Cobra

Why so fussy, you’re not in opera

Have you seen our muscles?

Bamboo’s, Hump-nosed’ or Russell’s

We’re fit n swift, accept defeat, chhokra.

 

 

The paddy is green, mellow light

The dash of red with dots of white

Shinny little birdie

Not only foolhardy

Red Munia, always, is worth a sight
