Kerala Appams

APPAM   
   Appam- you had kallu before , today it is yeast
   You are welcome for any feast
   For B’fst lunch and dinner you fill us
   You are our desire , 24 x7 without fuss

   Your periphery is like dosa, your centre is like idli
   Your presence lifts our mood like the garden lilly
   You are fashion and passion all in one
   You are anybody’s longing, there is disagreement with none

   You taste better with sugar and milk
   Your presence makes a home better than a woman’s silk
   Chicken stew continues to an exciting side dish
   Can Fish moilee be behind as we relish?

   Chorus
   Some guys  like it with beer
   Beer beside makes the gals fear
   Kerala appam a seductress to its taste
   Make haste and you waste the taste

   We enjoy you appam in Five stars to no stars
   On tables and ‘parcels’ ,and in the ‘hit list’ in Bars
   Wherever your presence you tickle our buds of taste
   Oh how we rush to you with haste

   You periphery is like lace, I call them frills
   Your  steaming sight beside a stew adds to thrills
   A tinge of brown colour means crisp you are   
   Appam dear be near don’t be far

   The Kerala  appam has more potential for rhyme
   If only I have the time
   Like  your spouse, have her always
   Desire appams like a beautiful face
