Daily Gopichand & Nagasuseela

He cites all rules but
Sides all rules
Rules he recites and
Clues to overlook rules
Rules roll…
Cries out…
Rules …rules
Craves for position
Craze for position
Sticks to seat
Forgets stinks
Sinks all values
A soulless human
With no gleam of
Humanity and compassion

may a bird of paradise fly up your nose
cursed the country western song

hard rock on the wall
and a one-eyed dog
chewing the neck of your
brand new electric guitar
