The following poem was posted to SCI on Sun Nov 18 01:33:43 CST 1990, but due to a posting problem, it appeared with the subject line: " Re: HSC PRESS RELEASE ON RESERVATIONS/QUOTAS IN INDIA". Hence the apology that follows.
"Looking for Avatar Judhishtir from Kharagpur" and "Vegetarianism"
"Sub dividing SCI" and "Subdivide-India-so-we-can-live-with-our-own-group"ism
It astounds me that so much verbiage can be caused by a fact as untrue
As "Sky is blue."
It's hard to follow the mystical thread
With seven hundred messages yet to be read.
I hit "k" till my fingers are sore -
Sagar se Boond nikli to sagar na hoye kamjore..
It tears my heart today but O net I have no choice
But to rejoice
For I just hit "u" and pop it went
My longterm subscription to this net evanescent
So now instead
Of getting back to work what devil put it in my head
To send this note that others can "n"
And complain:
Another note for the trash and now lets get on with it.
Yours overwhelmedly - Mukerjee, Amit.

with the subject line: Light verse masquerading as political news?
Re: HSC PRESS RELEASE ON RESERVATIONS/QUOTAS IN INDIA
Was a subject line with which I didn't mean to fool 'ya,
Mine alone is the blame
But I trust you'll be gracious to spare me the flame
And as you can see
Instead of "u" what I hit was a meek "c"
If there is one thing that I can't resist
It is
