                                              Hello Mr.Parkinson,
                                                               how do you do?
                                              Old friend of old man
                                                                I welcome  you.
                                              I thank you heartily
                                                                for coming so late.
                                              Why? is not the question
                                                                you know best
                                              when I was young
                                                                you did not turn
                                              my limbs were steady
                                                              and all happiness I earned
                                              Now you are my visitor
                                                               why should I care?
                                               God is on my side
                                                                and I will pray forever.
                                                                                                     Prabhatai Sahstrabhojane
