This Pageantry
Prof. P. P. SHARMA
The brass band
the martial music
the berobed and the
turbaned groom
on a caparisoned horse
with marchers in glittering array
behind him
and some in front
capering to a fantastic dance
–
this pageantry of the mediaeval times
indeed goes very well with
the dinner held in buftet-style.
Think back to the past
when a bold chieftain
came down from his rock-ringed glen
to carry away as a trophy
the compeliest damsel
of the tribe
Time changes fast indeed
what a great deal lives on!
