The Riddles



Riddles and puzzles are good time pass
This is what our leaders are to do
Public emotions are on criss cross
This is what they always pursue

When people in streets will be benefitted
When ordinary man will be happy in town
When his demands will be ready be vetted
When he will be selected to wear the crown
