Chintito

The ing thing

Chintito

The electricity is failing
The water is not coming
The gas is misbehaving
The MP he is running
But he had the last laughing
In two weeks from this happening
Same place where there was fighting
Brick-batting, road-blocking and backbiting
There on the dais smug he was sitting
Muhur muhu karotali he sure was getting
As he addressed this big public meeting

Voters are increasing
Still many are found missing
The dead are also including
Someone said they know no counting
But agent discloses inside planning
Papers again give bad imaging
Kojak is seriously minding
And so his people are summoning
This guy for some heavy rebuking
Election engineers are chupi chupi smiling
Their cow has already started to milking

The prices are rising
No more it is surprising
Yesterday two kodu buying
Today same money half getting
Many experts are advising
Some are actually lying
Syndicate there is nothing
Globalisation bhoot is working
Dollar price used as main excusing
Blame is also on hoarding
But their hunger for money is not dying

I get this telephone calling
From a friend in Chittagong living
From darkness he said he was speaking
Though the city for many years was lighting
It was all due to repeated power shedding
Going for many hours even in day-lighting
People started to do a bit of agitating
So the authorities as assurance had been telling
That not more than an hour this light-offing
Hearing this everyone was singing and dancing
Little knowing it meant 'not more than an hour' each timing
