There was a city named Bombay
And was known that way for many a day
To Mumbai they changed its name
Though the city was pretty much the same
They felt it was better the Marathi way
Sadly terrorists bombed it
The Mumbaites were badly hit
But they went on with life
No matter how much strife
I salute the Marathi manoos' spirit
I only have a question today
Shall I put it down here if I may?
Given the nature of the happenings
And so many bombings
Why not revert to "Bomb Bay"?
Satchi dear good one, the new name suits well as there had been so many Bomb blasts in Mumbai. Your Limmericks written so well.
ReplyDeleteThe author of this limerick has a worry
ReplyDeleteShe has prefaced it with a heartfelt 'Sorry'
But this I say is the word last
Harmful are the bombs that blast
Inside people hearts, which they silently carry
Vivek
That, Vivek is very well said
ReplyDeleteI wish terrorists would get it into their heads
With terror nothing is achieved
Lives once lost can never be retrieved
But do you think they really do care?
Vijima, thanks a lot for visiting and for the lovely comment. :-)

Nice Limmerick Satchi. Yes, life is back to routine as people has to come out to earn the daily bread. Just praying it should not happen again.
