My dear Chidambaram

Considering that you had to do a balancing act pervading a wide spectrum
Considering that you had to pander to many a communist tantrum
Your budget is so wonderful that one feels like beating a drum
One doesn’t mind getting intoxicated by whisky and Rum
It is indeed difficult to maintain decorum
Your budget has really put India on a higher rostrum
You have proved that for economic progress, an astute politician can be a fulcrum
Whether individually or in quorum
I hope you and your budget are not only appreciated in this but each and every forum

So wonderful is your budget
That one hopes that it sets India’s fortunes set soaring as a Jet
Only in implementation if you fidget
It will remain a kind of Vignette
