Do "nonsense" rhymes make any sense?
They say, nonsense rhymes do not make any sense! For some readers, at best, nonsense rhymes can only be used during "time-pass" in a leisurely manner and there is no justification in giving them too much importance - by any scale! Of course, I respect their opinion, but at the same time, I agree to disagree with their views.
To me, each nonsense rhyme or poem makes sense (irrespective of language - in Bengali, Hindi, English or any other), carries a story and presents something funny worth readable. It may present just a simple humor, a satire, or a subtle touch of wit, or all of them. But I strongly feel that a nonsense rhyme should never reflect sarcasm in order to insult a person or his/her values, because the author simply has a different view. In this respect, I admire my Guru, the legendary Sukumar Ray or the greats - Edward Lear or Louis Carroll and other stalwarts - for their impartial & clear visions while writing their verses..
Shifting from the serious side, I declare that I am a lover (and not a connoisseur) of good food and I even go to the extent of being termed as "greedy" by my friends and relatives! Most of the following poems in this posting speak of food in a direct or indirect way. And my picture in the beginning is a 'Bonus' - as usual!
