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?
