1 Item Agenda Poem by Harindhar Reddy

Poly-colors filled sweet, cute gums; black fruits on hack-berries,
Jack oaks dressed in dark barks with broad three-lobed leaves,
Nectarous nuts nested in beech’s burs, pure poisonous hemlocks –
Maple mass, birch, bass, teak timbers– nature in pristine talks
In blue lobelia wild lawns, hummingbirds and bees dance
Betwixt the silver creeks and green grace lives wild race!
Buy hooks, throw baits and catch fishes in election mania.

Bear, bore, giraffe, wolf, fox, hippo and rhino are creepy-crawly
Contenders for king’s durbar with 1 item agenda – Icky- yucky
Pamphlets, utilitarian manifestos & promises off-key on web
In iffy-jiffy – head poll mandarin camel granted brutes allegoric
Symbols: grass and meat, rat trap, trammels net, blank check..
Fish hook, Arrow without bow and keyless locks – for fake rule!
Buy hooks, throw baits and catch fishes in election mania.

Important voters rabbits, deers, goats, bulls, kangaroos and
Zebras assembled on the meadows – I’m the natural king roared
The lion – VS raged tiger raised his limbs, said he can veto
Anyone, so I will take the crown myself growled the tiger – after
A tug of war both decided to test their lick in the mandate,
hand for lion and lotus for tiger in a theatre of absurd…
Buy hooks, throw baits and catch fishes in election mania.
