Honour

Calcutta resident,

Of Bishop Lefroy road,

Gifted film maker Satyajit Roy, was old

And

Ill in bed when he won

The Oscar

His, "Apur Sansar" a brain cracker

Can't resist naming another

Of his fairy tale, satire

"Guppy Gain Bagha Bayonne"

A film discreet, refine.

Hollywood friend Audrey Hepburn

Of, “My Fair Lady” fame

Accepted the award on behalf of him

A debt the film world did pay back only just before he died.

And

It was a narrow escape for the indebted

Sir Prize Oscar.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A tribute to a great film maker. It is better late than never.

The measure of a man, is not what others think of him or his work, but the satisfaction and value he places on that work. If he is joyous about his work, he is successful. If his work conveyed the message of his heart. He was successful and the most coveted award of all is the satisfaction he gets with pointing at his work and saying with pride, "I did that!"
