Mobile Library

I travel over mountains and deserts
like a nomad, reading J.R.R. Tolkien
and Bruce Chatwin with library friends.

See the sights of old Madras
Take a tuk tuk through Chennai streets
The Glory of the Garden and Kipling's Jungle Book.

Rumi, Hafez and Omar Khayyam,
A butterfly may once have been a man
reading quietly in his writer's den, his caravan.

See the sights of old Madras
Take a tuk tuk through Chennai streets
Kipling's Jungle Book will always have a place
along with his Glory of the Garden.

Welcome to my mobile library,
inside you'll find Rumi, Hafez and Omar Khayyam.
A butterfly may once have been a man
reading quietly in his writer's den, his caravan.

I'll travel over mountains and deserts like a nomad
reading J.R.R. Tolkien and Bruce Chatwin
Let the kids run around the garden,
There's Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland
in the top shelf of the Children's Section
in my writer's shed, my caravan.

See the sights of old Madras while reading
Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children
Take a tuk tuk through the Chennai streets
Kipling's Jungle Book will always have a place
along with his Glory of the Garden.

Welcome to my caravan,
inside you'll find Rumi, Hafez and Omar Khayyam
Surrounded by the thoughts of great men,
I'm not alone in my writer's den,
and even when I'm stooped and yellowing
I'll still have memories beyond your ken.
