The man from Bukhara by Sundaram (Sundar) Ramchandran / zenkalidas There was this guy from bukhara Who was a real "bechara" His life was as empty as the Sahara Till he met a lady wearing a tiara. She was a real amazon, was she She never let him be She dandled and spanked him on her knee In a manner that everyone could see In every way, She put him to the test She tonsured him and dyed him with her sword in jest She treated him as she would a pest Till he looked like a chick fallen out from the nest At last he gave way and wept for a caress Thus it was that the butch butcheress who hailed from bucharest slaughtered the bechara from bukhara Footnote : Bechara : Is hindi slagan for poor helpless person Possible root : "Besahara" -> without help / helpless or "Be" without + "chara" - alternatives
