Red Ratnagiri Valentine

Red, red, the colour of love,
Dripping from the hot Ratnagiri sun above,
Delicious and cold raspberry ice,
True love and ice-cream has no price.

A little taste of childhood magic,
Taking us back to a carefree, simpler time,
Thiba Palace forged from wood and red brick,
Looms in the background, lost in time.
