Dear friends, I need your support

(No pun intended … just fun intended)

My marriage is in trouble

I and my wife have no rapport

I don't know how to make our marriage stable.

Whenever I want to watch a football match

She never gives me the remote

Watches some funny serial as such

I get irritated, smoke and just float.

All my efforts to make her understand with all tact

That world cup comes only in four years

Serials would be there always in fact

But she enjoys her serials and I am in tears.

She adds salt to my wound

By her monologue of stories of serial characters

I become furious like a bloodhound

Still she continues with so called block blasters.

My dear friends of Gather

Some of you as well must be facing this menace

Let us all jointly request them to use the pen, rather

And write poems or stories and give us a chance.

TV is not necessary. Love is necessary.
Turn it off and make love.

Hilarious. But my wife likes watching World Cup soccer, manoj. That is, until Spain lost two days ago, and Argentina today. I'm half German, so maybe I will be writing a supporting role poem!!
The World Cup only happens every 4 years! And it brings the world together--something hard to understand in the United States.
I liked this funny well written poem.

Dear Umara,
I am really overwhelmed by your concern. Thank you dear.
We have truce ... and we shall be watching England- Portugal match together after half an hour. .... smiles......

I am very sorry , if my poem has touched your emotional chord. Please pardon me.

This was actually fun intended as was written at the top.

Take care and enjoy your days.

May Allah bless you.

Best wishes,

manoj
