Wordy Duel

On the banks of Ganga in Varanasi

The jugalbandi contest was on

Sword or the word he asked?

Upon my word I prefer the word I said.

Are you words worthy of this duel?

At least a Tennison, words I would serve

Homar you have plenty

Kabi (r) Kabi(r) it is.

Punning around your way

No, Heming my way.

Why do you Harp’er and mock, but am not a bird

Cuckoo that flew over the nest

Where would you go to?

Where the mind is without fear!

I am adverse or okay to verse, Hamletian dilemma

But we have Miles to go before we can end

Battle went on for many Arabian nights

Audience trickled in, Room(i) for more

Paradise regained the audience felt

Song of themselves the duo sang

Sometimes it was about War and Peace

Far from the madding crowd it was

A midsummer night's Dream

Finally,

 it was a tie and not meant for anyone to die

Live and let live they agreed

A bloodless coup it was.
