While going to take a shower

Carrot took off its cloth and kept it aside 

Radish felt naughty and wore it 

It fit. The collar raised. 


A new life got instilled

To the otherwise dead soul 

Curved back got stiff 

Weird courage was felt 

New cloth. New birth. 


Bathing, Pooping, SandhyaVandanam

All in the same new clothes

Even the wife did not get to see him naked 

Few years passed. His skin color turned. 

Old life was forgotten. 


To hail the radish

People gathered, and screamed

New system was formed 

To decide rights and wrongs

Garment sale increased.


A girl from the neighbor village 

Filed a harassment case

Buses, Trains got filled with rotten vegetables 

One week. 

In one week, he was announced innocent. 


It has been ten years since the shirt is washed 

For two decades, it may not touch water 

You join as well!
