♥~♥ I Love India ♥~♥ Nothing can compare to India. I have been from coast to coast. Although I am not an Indian by birth It gives me a right to boast. Twenty years ago I felt their humor As they laughed when I said "you guys" Always calling me a darned Yankee Until "ya'll" I learned to rectify. They told me about cows and buffaloes The sweet looking animal I've seen And piggy that could jump three feet That would certainly make me scream. You may see a wealthy farmer Buying dinner for his muddy hands All dressed in Dhotti and leather boots And you can't tell who tends the land. The town rallies to the cause When someone is down on their luck With all sorts of fund raisers They collect .... not pass the buck. If you are stranded on the roadway To the rescue they will come In their big bullokcarts And the earth shakes when they run With names like Munni and Munna They are very proud of their state. They are famous for their mud houses, Veggi cuisine and big metal plates. Punjabies are definitely good folks And to Kashmir they will roam To take in a little snow skiing Since there isn't any snow at home. If you live in the middle of India A full day's drive it will take Seeing mesquite trees and sage brush Just to get out of the state! If you can't take the heat Don't visit in August, July, or June. The highest I've seen is 114 So we keep our AC's in tune. If the wind is blowing 30 mph When the temperatures are higher It feels like your face is being Blasted by a hot hair dryer. It costs nothing much to water So our grass is always green. The rain divides right around us The likes of which I had never seen. I'm proud to call India my home. To my heart, it is very dear. It's uniqueness is hard to understand Until you have truly lived here. . Lilly |
