Sir Salman Rushdie

My dear sir, Sir Salman Rushdie, Knighted for your services to literature And the freedom of speech and expression, At the outset of it, I thank you, thank you, sir, For your support Extended to world community In the need of But, but sir, I have, have something to ask you As want I to know about your story, The story of your life, The relationship with the girls, The girls of your choice To find out, How did the marriage break down And couldn’t you feel about? You tell me, tell me first about Clarissa Luard Then Marianne Wiggins Then Elizabeth West Than Padma Lakshmi, How did you keep on proposing before And promising of a long-time relationship And did it shatter the dream of life? May I ask you, sir, is life a romance, Is our relationship one of a glass house? Love, but betray not, Give your heart and take But break it not As I believe it, sir, May not be for you.
