There was this party called the BJP,
Which in one piece just wouldn’t be,
They fought and fought,
What havoc they wrought!
2009 was the year when the “I” replaced the “We”.

***

There were these dudes called the Men in Blue,
Who always did flatter to deceive you,
They broke records galore,
They notched a few wins more,
But at crunch time they always got bruised black and blue.

***

There was this dude called Obama,
Who go the peace prize Hey Baba!
On peace how he did talk!
But did he walk the talk?
The future will show if it all was a drama.

***

There was this tournament called IPL,
Which in its first season was a great sell,
Interest dropped in Season 2
For Season 3 viewers may be few,
But they’ll still get more teams and leagues and hype, what the hell!

There was this disease called swine flu,
That spread and they all didn’t know what to do,
They called it H1N1,
And hoped it would be done,
But now in airports more deadly than a bomb is an achoo!

***

There was this agency called WADA,
That generated a lot of drama,
To test or not to test,
It’s being declared a big pest,
Not for nothing is the BCCI a big Dada!

***

There was this thing called Inflation,
That pushed the prices in upward procession,
Then one day it just crashed,
And was left bruised and bashed,
And the prices? They’re still in acceleration!

***

There was this team called Australia,
Jiska trip ek baar India ne le liya,
Then the Proteas they just beat them,
In the WC the Windies kicked them,
Aur England ne bhi accha band baja liya!

***

There was this spate of reality shows,
That generated a lot of Parliamentary prose,
But the audience just loved it,
It went ahead and TRPed it,
And now all the channels have upped their weekly dose!
