It’s ten p.m. in the evening
It’s the prime story time
Switch on your blessed TV
Listen to fables-n-rhyme !
First story is on Politics
Of bridges and troubled waters
Laced with elements of who-done-it
Like in murders and man slaughters !
Next comes the famous ballad
Of international treaties
Now they are on……now they don’t….
Provocative….like strip tease !
To sustain the interest of the masses
Then there is a comic interlude
A skit on falling prices
And growing public gratitude ….
To add some spice to the stories
The copy now becomes more lively
A song is sung by the finance minister
On bailouts and fiscal measures….they are timely !
World of sports is the title
Of the following story ….some game…
Rowdy-ship in the Parliament….
Putting a rugby team to shame !
And then the grand finale…
The weather song is there
Like a wishful lover’s dream
Of rain….that is nowhere!
This daily prime time serial
Is popular with one and all
It churns out slapstick comedy
Be it winter spring or fall ….
….and now for facts and real issues
Viewers are advised :
To carefully watch ad films
On soaps….cokes and soft tissues !!!
