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 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!
