Shalimar Gardens takes a bow

the music dazzled, his troupe just marvelled

their fine talent exuded, as his baton trembled

and those heavenly notes, the majestic gardens assembled

the voted elite, gazed on embattled

a bollywood item, being all they demanded

and yawns they stifled and remanded

they appeared enamoured, with raptures painted

for had they not, been specially invited

and sheet music scores, they never had comprehended

sweat smeared cold coins, no crisp note

dote the uninvited millions, off their vote

and keep at bay that belly rumble, is all they hope

sweat and blood spilt, so this should be not

with folded hands, had they not promised a lot

and why then teeming millions, with outstretched empty pot

to waiting limos, they saunter now

a laboured gait, oh those delicious desserts wow

and with soft echoes now disassembled, Shalimar gardens takes a bow
