'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, BUZZ OFF TELEPHONE

BUZZ OFF TELEPHONE

Be hold and me apprise
Of the current inflation and rise
In atta prices and the general
And of course dowries too
Acquaint you I shall with the
So called water and loo
Escapism with my telephone
From the hullabaloo
Hi, Hullo, how do you do?
Hadn't we just met
Before an hour or two
Serves me right
If it was hate at first sight,
Out a sight, sorry upright, my telephone
Bill read
Not in units, tens but in hundreds
