Mr. Karela sings a rap song

Last night Karela (bitter gourd) was on the dinner menu. I can’t say I’m much of a fan so I decided to skip dinner. I had some popcorn instead. Tired after a long day, I turned in for the night earlier than usual and slept fitfully for a few hours, I guess. But Mr. Karela, who wasn’t too happy that I had ignored him at dinner time decided to put in an appearance with his performance of a rap song. Lo and behold! There he was, all dressed in a shining green coat and trousers with matching shoes. He had a mike in his hand and was crooning away! He swayed and hopped about on one foot and then on the other as he rapped. Oh God! I woke up with a start. I can’t say I admired his look or the show much. It was more of a nightmare but I couldn’t tell him that, could I?

See, I don’t care much for his feelings! But I prefer to keep my peace more for the reason that he may next decide to try Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, that too on the fertile ground of my dreams.

Listen... I have a request. The next time you meet him at lunch or dinner, don’t tell him that I told you about his performance in my dream last night. By the way this is the rap song he sang... Tell me if you liked it!

Yo ! I’m the happening Mr. Karela

No! Not some boring Mr. Akela

I’m green and oh so sexy

Better than -- chilled Pepsi

I can steal Thumbs-up’s thund-a

I’m the envy of even Onid-a

Sharper than a shot of, Tequil-a

I’m the hot and happening -- Mr. Karela!

Aye Biddu, chal tu smile kare-la

Mere taste se koi nahin pake-la

I’m freaking awesome, not thake-la

I’m the hot and happening -- Mr. Karela!

C’mon! C’mon!

Get a move on

Don’t be, a mo-ron!

Health-ier than a prawn

Main hoon – Veggie. Don!

Serve me, on your plate

Let’s have a dhaansu date

Chal mat kar aur late

Main kar raha hoon tera wait!

Darling, mat kar mujhse hate

Main hoon tere liye, great!

Yo! I’m the happening Mr. Karela

Darling, don’t leave me Ake-la!
