Profound Poetry Confounds



Translation of a hot romantic Indian song [Sung by a guy for a gal]:
"To me you seem hot,
Like a Rs 100,000/- note..."
[lyrics and songs have weird rhythms, in case you hadn't noticed :P]

Plus,  what, is he gonna say and do later on?
 'I'll pay cash' and then deposit the girl?
Or buy something for Rs 100/- and say 'Keep the change?'
Or say: Your value decreases more and more every single day
Or say: You're wrinkly, I'll exchange you for a new one

Pakistani (Girls), Cruel Since Their Childhood?



*Dus Pattay toray is a desi version of pat-a-cake rhyme but with loads of seemingly unconnected stuff making up the bulk of  the poem....*

Which reminds me: Dus pattay toray must have been written by a disgruntled mom-in-law 'cause there's a clause in there totally against the daughter-in-law! 


And a meme to go along with it...(Sorry to people who don't understand the awesomeness of mismatched nonsensical rhymes). The gist of it is: We took ten leaves off of the tree and one of 'em was a bit...young? unripened? green? (hmmmm!) so it was useless and then there's a whole rhyme about a deer fawn and how it went to drink water and got lost which leads us to want to capture it's grandma (without any cause whatsoever, I might add) and so on.....
