1.
In the shadows of the Nil Vilaka
The thespian tries to die
To the rhythm of the Mizhavu and cymbals
The audience eggs him on
2.
No Durga idols, this year
Kumartuli's clay modellers are on strike
They wonder why the banks cannot waive
Their loans
If the gods have waived their sins
3.
Wagner and Strauss
In a quandary
Ever since they forgot
The password to music
Beethoven could have helped
But he was very busy
Tuning his piano
