Autograph Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

A man had the hobby Of collecting autograph
from famous personalities
he managed autographs from many icons
cricketers, cinema stars
top politicians, olympians
and many more
once he requested Saddam Hossain
the President of Irak
for sending his autograph
on a piece of paper
he sent it by courier gladly.

Few years passed away
Saddam hanged
and that chapter closed.

The man was busy to get another autographs
one mid-night the intelligence personnel
raided his house
searched every locker, bed, shoe rack
every inch of his residence
but did not get those things
what they were looking for
so they picked him up
and rushed to police station
SHO said, we have proof
you had link with Saddam Hossain.
