DAY TIME LOOT

DAY TIME LOOT

Dr K Prabhakar Rao

The tricks of admissions into nursery schools is a murky game
Where gullible parents are duped of money and they get lame
The state has no control over this day time loot
Where owners of these schools how their thumb and foot

Admissions into these schools is a great gimmick
Where the gullible parents have to face many a trick
The convent schools are masters in this murky game
While in these tricks of trade they acquired greatest fame

Thousands of rupees change hands for a nursery seat
Where to get a seat is like doing a circus feat
Society is taken for a rough camel ride
And the guys conduct these have thick animal hide

In these schools parents rot in hot sun
While the kids waiting watch the idiotic fun
For mere nursery seats hurdles are in scores
And entire process is full of pores

Convents schools interview parents for a kindergarten seat
While kids suffer simmering heat
Entire show is greatest and filthiest trick
Where money changes hands in a moment flick

Mother and father face the interview board
While selectors are surely not above board
Funniest guys put foolish questions to them
In disgust they have swallow their own flum

In these schools parents have to reserve a seat
Before a man makes his wife pregnant
Ways are funny with these guys
Tricks of trade are many and are of various ways

Some of these display that they are centers of credit
While they really deserve only discredit
Many are flourishing hoodwinking the parents
While at government failure one can only lament

Some cranks and cheats have got into this game
Who are not scared of law and are getting fame
The goddess of learning in the hands of shady men
Who are swindling and filling their sinful den

You and me are suckers in this game
While those on top failed to control and tame
The act of swindling goes on as free for all
The state of course makes claims very tall
