DELHI BELLY

Here I sit in silent wonder
recovering from a bucketing chunder
with carrots and corns and peas and things
before a burning blistered my ring
my gizzards, gawd, they’re all asunder
the box below now echoes with thunder
I’ll be here for a while, I’m in no hurry
still suffering the effects of last night’s curry
Alt ending:
I’m as crook as a dog I’m warning you
do not order the beef vindaloo!
