It's getting verse
An epidemic of poetry is raging in political circles in India. I’d blogged a few days ago about criminal-turned-politicians turning to poetry – now “regular” politicians, if one can describe them in that manner, are spouting verse.

And what about the MPs who aren’t fond of poetry? They slept.
