Gandhi sat in India
Cross-legged by a spinning-wheel
"Gandhi will get you if you
don't behave" my mother said.

The last time I thought about India
the <I>Kama Sutra</I> was out in paperback,
but trying to read it with a slipped disc
and a paunchy waist was difficult.

India's a nice kind of phantasy,
but Gandhi's dead, and you can be sold
the <i>Kama Sutra</i> in a Butlin's camp
by one of those nice red-coated girls.
