Sultan
Oh, black and shining Sultan,with your yellow gooseberry eye,
I saw but did not hear you,
as you silently stalked by.
Your slippered feet caress the dust,
you move with sinuous grace,
and small birds scatter –
when they see your enigmatic face .
Your claws are sheathed in rubber,
beneath your velvet paws;
I take you in my arms and hear
a million-minute saws.
Oh, black and shining Sultan,
With your gleaming gooseberry eye;
the world plays second fiddle,
as you serenely walk by.
