Diamond Dosham

Certain shrink wanted to buy a diamond.
An OLD Lady said she would help her.
I advised the Old Lady that her help was'nt needed.
The Lady wanted to HELP anyway. And HELPED!

The Old Lady bought a stone,
And gave it to The Shrink,
Who paid a $2K. A whole $2K,
A whopping $2K for a piece of stone!

Doctor-jee's mother a Hyderabaddy from Andha Pradesh,
Saw dosham in the stone. Saw a blemish!
So the Doctor-ji returned it,
And asked her money back!

The store had a policy of not taking back
What's sold, but was willing to exchange.
Before The Lady or The Shrink made up their minds
The store went belly-up!

The Doctror-jee demanded her money.
The Lady refused saying she was'nt at fault.
I told her to return and keep dignity!
The Old Lady refused! She would'nt give any!

The story went to Thangaluru!
It went to Shiva Nagar! It went to Holasuru!
It went from one place to another
SPICED up it came back to AMRI-AKKA!

Doctor-jee accused the Lady of many things!
And called her names! All sorts of names!
Charming and endearing names!
She even called her a Diamond Donga!


I wasn't spared! So was Appa-jee! And Amma-jee!
Doctor-jee's hubby, the Old Lady's brother-jee,
The biggest bully in the world
Sat QUIETLY with his tail tucked 'tween his legs

Urgent calls came from Shiva Nagar!
And Holasuru! Everyone said,
"Throw that 2K on H'Baddy's face!
And keep Thangaluru's respect!

At last the Old Lady saw light,
Gave The Shrink 2K with all her HEART!
The stone with its dosham had taken its toll
The store that had it had gone KAPUT!

One who got it for the Doctor-jee got the blame
And got called names. Endearing names!
Lost jewelry, money, respect, diginity,
Dignity!! And much much more!

Tailpiece:

The stone did not have a blemish!
To it an H'Baddy attached blemish.
The store that had it ran fine before.
And all was good! All was fine!
Until somebody attached blemish!
Did that Blemish affect anyone ?
The one who helped lost a LOT!
The store that had it went KAPUT!!

Notes: dosham = blemish
shrink = psychiatrist
