A Poem About Mysore

By Rhys Hughes

I decided to go to Mysore
because it seemed quite rude
not to pay it a visit
while I was in the mood.

Ate too much food.
Mysore tum!

Sat on a porcupine.
Mysore bum!

Walked for many hours.
Mysore feet!

Sat on a porcupine again.
Mysore seat!

Climbed one of the trees.
Mysore knees!

Then I was very tired
and booked a hotel room
to lie down on a bed.
Mysore head!

And while I slept I dreamed
of a problem philosophical,
namely who has the
twitchiest whiskers.
Mysore cats?

And that, my friends, was that.
