When I was little I used to read Haalat's poems. They were so funny but tonight for some reason I remembered one of his robaeis (quatrains) which I cannot exactly remember but went something like this:
tazegi dar kenaare majlese shora
mostarahi jadid gashteh bana
ta shavad bar jahanian ma'loom
shaahkaare gharineh sazie ma
تازگی در کنار مجلس شورا
مستراحی جدید گشته بنا
تا شود بر جهانیان معلوم
شاهکار قرینه سازی ما
sorry for wrecking the poem but its been so long and I cant remember exactly...
rough English translation:
recently next to the Majlis (house of reps)
a new toilet has been built
so that the world would witness
the masterpiece of our symmetrical arts.
Roohesh shaad
if he was alive today, what would he say? (a house of prostitution?) umm I wonder? ;-)
