Kampakichee

Kampulia Pentoctide added to Patriotic Acid

Releases pectrime , a colourful happy gas

When cooled to twenty degrees looks like glass

Chemistry of gibberish said a teacher in class


Tamarind solution, a pinch of oxomium chloride

Poured into heart broken gol-guppas stuffed with garnishing

Gulping down after minimal chewing

The tongue is on fire -- the mind is happy

The golgappa vendor having his afternoon siesta

beneath the hot sun after a shot of calaphene


Learning these difficult words now got scrambled

Who cares what I write.............. I am no Rowling

I shouted at a street dog who began........ growling

Too much flattery !!

Too much flattery !! I'll have an upset tummy !! I eat slow and very little at a time savouring every morsel. You are sure to find some"golgappas" at some Indian restaurant or fast-food place in ur neighbourhood. The ingredients I described are however figurative except the tangy tamarind sauce poured into heart-broken "golguppas" Side effect ? None whasoever except your tongue may catch fire !! Young girls & ladies just love it out here. It is called "Phuchka" out here and "Panipuri" elsewhere &...............It is also stuffed with spiced mashed potato and curd at some places called "Dahi phuchka" Glad you liked the post. Thank you IWH.
