Potatoes the size

Of a shopping mall,

Eggplant, hanging,

Like a mountain,

 

Has put on as ear rings,

Carrots, the size

 

Of a small lane,

And taller than cows,

 

Are green chilies, while,

Waterfalls, cascading down,

 

Get collected in

Giant pitchers, the

 

Size of a football stadium

And in a bus,

 

A man is carrying

A goat in a shopping bag.

 

How come I weigh

Four hundred kilograms

 

And my right hand

Is bigger than the national highway?
