(D)Assault


                                                  

Funny: Even before it has landed in India, Rafale has proved its destructive capabilities

Punny: We have heard of WOMD – weapons of mass destruction

F: Now Words of Mass Destruction launched by the opposition

P: Take it with a pinch of salt, these verbal (d)assaults

F: Ruling party is working overtime to find holes in Hollande’s words

P: And prove how hollow and shallow they are

F: Words of Hollande, Ex-PM of France need to be ‘ex’punged

P: Words can cause more damage than sword

F: Ruffled by Rafale, RaGa’s vocal ‘CHOR’d has left the ruling party rattled

P: ‘Reliance’ on one’s word is surely questionable

F: While you can’t ‘rely’, you can’t deny it either!

Coming as it does in times of soaring fuel prices it has given the opposition an inch. It is for them to grab a mile out of it. Lynch, centre did not flinch. Dalit outrage, centre did not lose courage. Farmers’ distress, centre wasn’t stressed. Viewed separately, they may not be threatening. When combined, the cascading effect could prove to be catastrophic for the ruling party.  Whether Rafale would be Weapons of Mass Destruction or Words of Mass Destruction, your guess could be hazardous. Or Words of Modi Destruction, only time will tell, F&P chuckled. ‘Ayushman Bhava’!!

Neither Right Nor Left, It’s The (Stupid) Centre!




 

Funny and Punny were in a quandary, not knowing whether to go left or right being at the crossroads. Confused state of mind was at the centre of it all on their way forward.

Punny: Funny, I am left confused about the right way forward

Funny: Me too! As I look to my left, everything looks so right and bright

P: Nothing left about right

F: Nothing right about left

P: Yet there is a lot left to worry about

F: India needs to stand-up

P: We need to use all our skill

F: It’s all happening, the world over

P:Put-in lot of efforts to Trump up charges.

F: It is germane that there is an angel(a) to the problem

P: In this computer age, it is still (e)manual at the macro(n) living in the ivory...err..eiffel tower

F: So ‘britle’ is the mind that they were left thinking about their right to co-exist

P: And they tried exit to exit the problem and exist

F: But Europe still in trouble

P: Exit and you rope in trouble

F: Taking it on the chin, China is presenting a blunt face (or nose) to the world bent On Belting, leaving One (w)Ringing the hands

Left in the lurch, at the centre of all the contradictions, common man is striving hard to find the right path.

None Of The Above matters. Let’s stand up for these – skill, not kill, make, not fake, new sense, not nuisance. Full Marx for getting it right, noted F & P and continued their walk.
