[(c) 1981 Sharad Chandra Ojha]

Extracts:

Glory, glory to the most Glorious glories!

Shall we follow this pageant without any end?

Or should we slip away at the road’s sudden bend?

Glory to a mermaid with lovely feet

Selling dinosaur’s eggs in Oxford Street.

They love to carry their unused legs

And are perfectly happy in company of eggs.

Glory to the wonders of East and West

To the Eiffel Tower and the cuckoo’s nest

Glory to wisdom and glory to follies

To lean gurus, tall ones, and roly-polies.
