BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBL...

BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBL...: "BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBL...: 'BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAMBLES: BAREFOOT RAM..."



She was weaving a parchment while it was raining and the Cat

Spilled over the Sauce kept for him For his Soup But How

Come this is T No the Sauce was for Him the Man from No a

Pilot who flew his Chopper And Landed in T wanted to see for

Himself the Land of Zinc Strange ways and he moves

Suspiciously as well What if they found Zinc underneath

All of Us will be Refugees but Why saidd the Old Man We will

Be Millionaires

The Sun has seettled down overhead Small Mercies The Pot

Was Filled with Cold Water and the Lady of the House was

Out to Fetch Fuelwood but why isnt there a Gas Connection

No But we live in times of Penury No comforts All we have is

A Palmtop to be Wired with the Outer World

No it is outrageous dont you have something for a Rainy day

Yes we have some Chilli Paste and Half a Roti that should see

The Light of Today

But Why become the poorest of the poor when you have Zinc

All over and in your Body as well


The Tall one exclaimed we will certainly have a lot of Money

But the Foodgrains have become cheap

What Foodgrains have become cheap?

Ah! Yes Dirt Cheap and People are Forced to Eat Almonds

Because

The Foodgrains have Particles in it that makes People

Invisible


So the Whole Village has Vanished Looks Deserted

Ten Howcome both of Us are Not

Well Actually you are the Remnants of Some Other Self

While I am my Daughter and not Me Does not Make Sense

Since we are Millionaires and Money and Potatos are Selling

Like Hot Cakes And We Are

Back to Barter

Oh! I See the Zinc Company has brought down the Food

Prices to Fall


The poorest of the Poor are having a ball and The




Richest of the Rich are Forced to Migrate to the Villages




Wha Migrate to the Villages?

Ah! Yes the City has become the Kingdom and the

Kings are back in Vogue as the Gentry walk on the Edges

While Horse carriages carry Barefoot princes

But


What?

Barefoot Princes

Oh! They lost them in the

Floods

Yesterday
