Humorous Poems # 2 Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Jay Narain

There used to be quarrels between the husband and wife very often. Living in a flat surrounded by neigbours, they didn't wish it to be a noisy affair. When they were angry, both being poets and fond of rhyming poetry, they decided to exchange rhyming poems abusing each other.


Wife - "Once I kept you locked in my heart
But now I release you like a fart
So that I can have a fresh start"

Husband – "Once I disobeyed God
So, He put on my back a heavy load
Now I pray, take this load off my shoulder, my Lord"

Wife - "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Like Humpty, if ever you have a great fall
I will never come running at your call"

Husband - "Horsey, Horsey, don’t you stop?
Why blabber like an idiot nonstop?
If you have no work, go and mop"

Wife - "Oh! Tut...This is why I strongly say
Dogs like you should be left to stray
How, from men like you, I wish to stay away"

Husband - "Then why linger? You may boldly walk away
How I wish to rid of a 'Donkey' who can only bray"

Wife – "With a man like you, do you think I will again stay?
 Never! But for making my life a mess you should pay"

Quite the verbal fight! Quiet and to the point, pointed, sharp…revenge in its wake! Great one, Valsa! You are such a talent in your varied poetry. You are one of my favorites!

You did well with this one Valsa. I had to look twice to assure my self that it was you that wrote it. ..... Its not your usual style, and it takes a talented poet, to move so far out of thier comfort zone and still write a wonderful, completely enjoyable piece. You did well
