Stressed?

My skin’s getting pale

My bum’s getting fat

My razor’s gone blunt

But who will see that?

South Indian Dosa¹

and multi-cuisine

always a Thali²

But nothing that’s lean



Its too bright to read

Its too hot to walk

Its OK for drinking

But nothing here’s corked



A shalwar cameez³

or t-shirt and pants

my skin craves the sun

But men more than glance



Cheaper by sleeper

and quicker by train

none of it bothers

my super-chilled brain.

¹Pancake made from rice flour

²A regional all-you-can-eat set meal

³Tunic and trouser suit …normally with matching shawl/scarf
