A boy named Su

Coarse black hair parted at the center
A little big boy read about dementors.
Happy with his sambar and curds rice
Loves to bargain about corriander price.

Mother shaped like a globe
Father has hairy ear lobe
Little big boy loves to study
Maths,computers and Indian sociology.

Born as Subramaniyam Sheshachalapathi
Till the age of 14 an incessant bed-wetter was he.
But now he hides behind his specs.
Obviously fearing the opposite sex.

Little big boy wanted to be cool!
So he tried a backsummersault in the swimming pool.
So there he was all right and ready.
Little boy Su sans his chaddies.

Time came for Su to get marry.
Oh boy! Wasn't he in a hurry!
Every night he dreamed
Of a silky saree falling at the seam.

When the day did arrive
Little man Su now became a big boy.
Remembering all the advice he read in Women's Era
Big boy Su tried his stunts on poor Meera.

Now after blinking a couple of times
Big boy Su is teaching his son nursery rhymes.
Poor Meera has now transformed into a witch,
Leaving Su the much detested position of being her bitch.

So thats the story of a boy named Su
Was he in the US he would have played some blues.
Unfortunatly he's stuck with traffic jams and beating wives
Poor Su, prayed for forks but all he got was knives.
