Quatrain LXXXX -- INK SMUDGE

Some names need 'special' care
Labels stuck on larders bare
Yet, Kaavya*... with a name like this
Must've been tough, being a plagiarist**

* A classical style of Sanskrit poetry/'Kaavya Vishwanathan' author of "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life"
** I'm no copycat, Harvard writer cries to Katie

The American NRI is a strange animal,
An English tongue with a curry smell;
Roots as recent as their pubic hairs,
No wonder talents turn out to be nightmares.

Faithfully Yours!

ps: i am so glad Kaavya happened - or well, did not happen!
