I don’t care that she
is blind, old, and weighs nine pounds
She’s my nemesis
Worse than Pran or Prems
Nath and Chopra, for she snaps
first, with no warning
And unlike Ranjeet
she has no lair to speak of,
shows no fashion flair

But surely filmi heroes were the nemesis of these assorted villains. By that token Gemma is the hero (your Shami or Rajesh Khanna), not the villain!

o ooo messed up my html tags!

You forget that I don’t write haiku, Gemma does…
She is referring to the little poodle above, who is her arch-enemy. She’s mad because Allegro is staying with us.
Gemma: you forget to mention the fact that she is toothless as well, which is why your fear and hatred of her is incomprehensible to me.
-
Mmm… yes I did forget that!
Gemma, you really shouldnt be so jealous of sharing your Hindi movies for a few days.

Old, blind, and toothless
Reminds me of those movies
With old villagers.The moneylender
Makes them sign some papers that
They don’t understand.Next thing you know is,
The old, blind, toothless fellow
Begs for his land back.But never fear, chap!
Your grandson will grow up, and
Avenge your loss. Yes!Oh, those old movies
Now people live in metros
Who farms anymore? -
Sy: Wah wah!!!!
bollyviewer: She is pure evil.
memsaab: You know nothing of what goes on between us.

Thankee, Gemma. Besides…
Cute as a button
Versus old, blind, and toothless
I know who will win! :) -
Happy Divali!

For some reason, the “poodle upstairs” is begining to sound like some avtaar of Jeevan from the 50s- shylockian :)

Sy, excellent response! and I know Gemma agrees with you re: her cuteness.
Happy Diwali to you FiLMiNDiA ;-)
shweta, all I know is that she’s completely oblivious to Gemma’s feelings, and that my dog has become very neurotic about her. It’s v.v. strange…I really do know nothing of what happened between them!

Ah, Gemma! You’re right
That the seeming innocence
Of age is a lieFor now, I say that
You must take what Memsaab says
With a grain of saltAfter all, she is
Only a human, and thus
Subject to her eyes -
ajnabi: ah, such talented people visit here :) Certainly I agree that age is no bar to villainy. On the bright side of it all is that Gemma has been much nicer to me since A has been here. She’s decided that I’m her biggest hope of rescue in case she needs it!
