The economy has shriveled so much
\nThat\u00a0DDS have been launched<\/p>\n

But we should know DDS of what<\/p>\n

Of Groceries
\nOf Wine
\nOf Footwear
\nOf Jewellery
\nOf Home Made Food
\nOf \u2014 Of What?<\/p>\n

Do not worry,
\nWe will explain one by one<\/p>\n

Of groceries because
\nThe House holder won\u2019t be able to complain that they are not fresh<\/p>\n

Of Wine because
\nPeople drink and drive resulting in many accidents<\/p>\n

Of Footwear
\nPersons cannot walk away with the new pair leaving the old pair behind<\/p>\n

Of Jewellery
\nWomen photograph themselves in a necklace uttering – It is old fashioned<\/p>\n

Of Home Made Food
\nHow can food be Home Made, if it is not cooked in your own Home?<\/p>\n

Let us forget DDS<\/strong>
\nAnd think about better ways to improve the economy<\/p>\n

By buying a hundred pairs of heels
\nto compete with the High heeled<\/p>\n

By wining and dining and falling sick
\nNewer Hospitals being built in a quick<\/p>\n

By making necklace of currency notes,
\nCreating new presses printing the notes<\/p>\n

By posting banners of
\nHome Made Eateries<\/em>
\non major city Streets<\/p>\n

By allowing monkeys to jump on trees
\nOpenly and boosting banana sales<\/p>\n

Well, let us stop here,\u00a0before TMS<\/em> Editor says:\u00a0Enough is enough.<\/em><\/p>\n
