There was this thing called Recession,
On coming it gave a temporary impression,
But with each passing day,
It refused to go away,
And steadily it became a Great Depression!

***

There was this disease called swine flu,
That spread and they all didn’t know what to do,
They called it H1N1,
And hoped it would be done,
But now in airports more deadly than a bomb is an achoo!

***

There was this agency called WADA,
That generated a lot of drama,
To test or not to test,
It’s being declared a big pest,
Not for nothing is the BCCI a big Dada!

***

There was this thing called Inflation,
That pushed the prices in upward procession,
Then one day it just crashed,
And was left bruised and bashed,
And the prices? They’re still in acceleration!

***

There was this team called Australia,
Jiska trip ek baar India ne le liya,
Then the Proteas they just beat them,
In the WC the Windies kicked them,
Aur England ne bhi accha band baja liya!

***

There was this spate of reality shows,
That generated a lot of Parliamentary prose,
But the audience just loved it,
It went ahead and TRPed it,
And now all the channels have upped their weekly dose!
