I didn’t want to marry but Mom forced me,
“Your growing horizontally…. God help me
Marry and settle down that’s all I can say
Can’t see you like a couch potato whiling life away”.
So she held a swayamwaar and I met cartoons galore
Met many of them and again some more.
Told mom if this is a new business, take an office on rent,
You’ve accumulated jokers, feel I’m in a circus tent.
The first man came in and looked at me coyly,
I thought Mom had asked me to behave shyly.
I looked at him and winked him in the eye,
He was so shocked looked as if any moment he would die.
Then came another and puffed up his chest and said,
“Hey baby you look beautiful like everyone said”
I looked up at him with a squint in my eye
Looked at the wall behind him and pretended to smile.
He turned around to see who’s there and then realized,
This so called beauty was a squinty and ran for the skies.
Then Mom brought home some virtuoso of some kind,
“Do you like music? Would you sing if you don’t mind?”
I shrieked and sang so loud he had tears in his eyes,
Choking, he had to say, “Your voice is really nice”
The next was a doctor looking for a wifey cook,
I told him even to boil water I have got to read the book.
He looked at me stunned and in total surprise
I said, “But I can eat well.. isn’t that really nice?”
Mom looked at me and said , “Couchy this won’t do,
You can’t just drive men away, later you will rue.
Who would you like to marry atleast gimme some clue.”
On the couch munching cakes said,"Ma any baker will do"
A glorious Diwali to all!
Love,
Devika
