Bonding with lotus

If you feel like bonding
Why not bond with the best?
Bond with those in power
Who stood first in the test

Remember tests are periodic
So do not neglect the rest
Bond a bit with them too
They may pass the next test!

To master the art of bonding
No need to ape ‘James Bond’
Just emulate any spotless lotus
In any murky, stinking pond

Never mind who you are
Unknown, unheard, unseen
Bonding with lotus in the pond
Shall make you absolutely clean!

Bonding is like a love affair
Always advisable to hide
Those who’ve never bonded
Will only criticise and deride

Bonding took place secretly
Under covers, with no show
Till colonial courts insisted
Everyone has a ‘right to know’!
