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