He drank the most venomous poison of the universe.
Thus making the intoxicating fumes get disperse.
To prevent him from swallowing it, she grabbed his throat
Hence giving him the only available antidote.
The Immortal NEELKANTHA once again bore the adverse.
This is my dedication to Lord Shiva.
This limerick is motivated from the story of Samudra Manthan.
Rashmi has continued her Limerick Poetry challenge for the year 2016, this is my entry for this week’s challenge.
what a beauty!
