To quote a famous poet:

No Ariyan, Dravidian, 
We're all just brown as nuts.
You have a problem with that my friend ?
Turn round I'll kick your butt.

Or to put it another way
The question - it is moot.
You dont like what I have to say ?
Turn round I'll kick your sooth.

And if you dont like what I just said
Perhaps you wouldnt mind
Turn round and face the other way
While I whack you in your head.

And if you think you're very smart,
A genuine work of art.
Turn round and face the other way
And kindly please dont fart.

Hold steady now and please dont move
While I begin to run.
And aim my foot upon your tooth
And kick you on your bum.
 
Why do you chaps like to live 
So much in years gone by ?
Do you have nothing else to say
Why dont you even try ?


Ranga.
