A Ballad of Reverse and Forward-W
There is always forward for outings,
Always a reverse if it is missed at all,
But forward in things conjugal ever.
I have been associated with a woman,
She has an in-built, reverse-forward button.
When in good humour the forward is on,
Make an adverse statement, reverse is on.
A lady Hamlet who faces a dilemma never,
To be or not to be is not a question for her.
But always forward in things conjugal ever.
Believe me, I tend to get what ultimately I desire.
If I wish to go for a movie in 1st show,
I need to suggest her for a second show,
Believe me,I get what I desire though.
If I am cross with someone & criticize,
She tends to follow *Ravan’s dictum-
Make enemy’s enemy a friend
