As Luck smiled on Prime Payee
He got an ancient land to rule
In a trance he called it Bh.. Bh.. Bhindi
He conjured its insignia: a Tri..Trishul.

He had many a Vicky (Victoria)
For pals, and called them all Joy Joy
In an ecstatic embrace each one was
For the other a plump cuddly toy.

A Flute, or a fluke, his education munster
Who made for lack of speech
With hectoring and hamming as a funster
And confused teaching with screech.

He had a pious Shama broadcasting
Kirtan-Bhajan as news
And a Bhuma, an unbroken mare,
Who believed her neighs to be views.

He had Johnny guard the den,
Gifted with eunuch's gravel throat
Who used to kill, and steal the till
Until the belly burst with a bloat.

All the munsters, busy making money
For families, flunkeys, friends,
Had no time to administer Bhindi,
They contracted her to alien fiends.

If one munster endowed a daughter outlaw
The other enriched a son outlaw
The loot of Bhindi, the munsters said
, Has ever been the divine law.

The Prime Payee would weep and cry
Not for the land he had despoiled
But that he couldn't loot more
So soon, like Kong, but he did try.
