A Dual Citizenship

Of all girls from the Urals named Mindy
who could speak classic Greek (also Hindi),
one gnome purr'd Homer's sagas --

perform'd 'em as ragas! -- 

and bore on her forehead a bindi.

Min'd increase links to Greece -- think Bysshe Shelley --

yet stay'd also in thrall to New Delhi,

Patna, Goa et al., 

snarfing horta and dal,

great cuisine she'd late seen on our telly.

As a teen, when a green candy-striper, 

she'd use mops to sluice slops from my diaper. 

[Spawn'd in Sparta, her niece -- 

dubb'd Siddhart'a in Greece --

got tagg'd Iphigeneia in Jaipur.]
     

Part Athenian, part Hindustani,

she could balance those halves -- plu-uncanny!
Spotted practicing yoga
though lacking her toga...?
That's Min, Greco/Indian nanny!
