Cazulo

 -Brian Mendonca

Dishes brought by the Bosco boys.

Catching up with the past - and present.

School boys pool in

for a pool party.

The rain comes to play 

and quickly goes away.

Blue Riband, Bacardi

the favourite is Cazulo,

as family men sip

from the cask of memories.

'I was stuck on the ledge'

'How he left that goal!'

'Arthur and Merwyn

played for Stanislaus.'

'You've got a suit 

- you be my best man.'

'70's Bombay 

monsooning in Goa.

'Living next door to Alice'

on Goa FM,

Kamikaze flies

dive into the breezer.

Pork vindalho, beef pulao

tongue and chicken cafreal.

Antilla and clergy

are up for scrutiny.

Housie and the Beatles

'She was just 17,'

A jive, a jingle,

A Borivali jungle.

Dia and muffins

Draw the dukor to the door.

Don Bosco be with us

Don Bosco watch over us

Don Bosco forever and ever, Amen.
