ya ya I write rhymes
I am her Palanquin Bearer
And, ya duh she's my bride
Get real -- duel -- those sticks
Ticklish -- what fright

We are trotting
You on wrong leg
Out of this ragtag town
To the city of Nightingale

The Golden Threshold
The Golden Gate
You are pulp
Read some literature

Chokher Bali
Pearl choker
Jean de Thévenot destination
With my Destiny -- you mutineer

City of pearls
Bangle Sellers
Princely state
What place
Monuments and minarets
Realm of sovereigns

Ottoman Turkish
So are you Burmese
No I didn't mean to tease
Stirrup -- reigns --reins -- drizzle
She is my symphony
In Perso-Arabic script

Ya ya take a good look
Shooting stars -- you slimy weasel
No No She didn't even blink
Hazel Rapunzel
Ghazel gazette
Mozart and mystic
Rendezvous Serendipity or simply fate

Dazzling Oyster
Poetess tugs an Orator
Gems El Dorado
Really real imperial
White Mughals ya Love and Betrayal
William Dalrymple
