To all my PARSI FRIENDS!!! The Parsees of Bombay Are special in every way In their work or in their play Always happy and gay; To help their fellow man They do the best they can They’re honest to the core And always help the poor; The Parsee community Has a unique identity Most from Heaven sent The rest of Persian descent; Some are crazy, but really sweet Loud and boisterous, not discreet Watching them is such a treat The best people you can meet; Some have really funny names Playing pranks and silly games Handsome guys and pretty dames They all fit in their Parsee frames; With complexions rosy pink They love their food and drink Before you can even think Parsee pegs go down with a wink; In every field they take the lead Nation building is their creed They’re fun loving and true And excel in all they do; From industrial to nuclear yield Theyve excelled in every field Music, art, theater, media too, There is nothing they cannot do; From Homi Babha to J R D Zubin Mehta to Freddy Mercury Adi Marzban to Pearl Padamsee From Bacchi Karkaria to Busy Bee; From Shariyar Atai to Boman Irani Hafeez Contractor to Sharpoorjee Farook Khambata to Cyrus (wala)Tody Nari Contractor to Nagarwala Hirjee; Godrej and Wadia are up there with the best Pardiwala and Golwala don’t seem to rest Nana Palkhiwala lives on in our mind A non productive Parsee is truly hard to find; They spread joy wherever they go They’re the nicest people to know They have parties all the time And stay far away from crime; Their numbers dwindle every year They may one day disappear Hope that day never comes To India’s finest daughters & sons
