Civic Polls

(1)Tagore!
Son: Dad, on 150th Tagore anniversary day why did all parties rope in the poet in their civic poll campaign?
Dad: Only to give a poetic touch to their prosaic job, my son!

(2) Compromise!
Son: Dad, why have Congress and Trinomool decided not to attack verbally one another in civic poll campaign?
Dad: It’s called ‘Verbal Alliance’, my son. They will run out of invectives against CPM if they use them among themselves!

(3)Status!
Son: Dad, Pranab Mukherjee’s come here to campaign for Congress in civic elections.
Dad:It's a prestige issue,my son.
Son:Why dad?
Dad:If Trinomool has a cabinet minister to campaign for it, then can Congress stay behind?

(4)Closer!
Son: Dad, do you think Congress and Trinomool would form Jote at assembly poll?
Dad: Very likely, my son. It’s really difficult to bear with pang of separation too long!
