A housewife's
Bagful of woes
Begin with morning chores
and end with midnight snores
Her kids must be polite
Soft spoken , elite
Must be sporty , smile
studious , lithe and agile
She herself be perfect
look good , stand erect
Smiling , being tall
Never scowl \fall
Never speak gaalis
No "saalaas \saalis"
She should be proper and prim
belong to creme de la creme
Thinner the better
not look like a critter
Her windows gleam
her kitchen glisten
Her bathrooms a-fresh
her cheeks a- flush
Her dal makhni delicious
her ear studs semi precious
her cakes lajawab
her looks a "Khwaab"
her english diction
should attain perfection
She should solve algebraic sums
never sit idle on her bums
Her brains should never rot
should shop at a trot
Drive like a seasoned pro
Ferry kids , to and fro
when does the saga end ?
Only when the spirits blend
Not a cocktail, but in
afterlife , therein
She can breathe, in peace
Silence, when life cease(s)
