Five blind Indian poets
Finished their thesis
On the shape of the Elephant
And packed to Paris
To tour and relax.

Guided by a French Girl
Fragrant with golden voice
Ascended and descended
The tower of the Eifel
Touched the iron rods
The five poets with chewing gum
Wondered how tall it would be.

.
“Earth holding this giant pencil
Draws a circle on a blue paper”
She gave a Swiss chocolate .
Patting the cheek of first poet
For his comment so childish.

“ The earth is also a blind planet
It goes around with this
Walking stick”
She touched his shoulder
And presented German shoes
for the second poet.

“When all the nations are united
To make one earth- one country
Let its flag fly high atop
This flag mast”
She gifted a case of perfumes
Assorted of many aroma
Tapping the back of
The third poet.

“ My Lord Almighty
Shall descend down
This divine ladder
To deliver his message
For me to sing”
She shook the hands
To give the fourth a Bluetooth
Hand phone momento.

And …
The fifth one smiled and said
“Ever since this tower was erected
Earth is making love with the sky”
.

The four returned to India
While the fifth stayed
With the girl guide
For the rest of his life
At her request
