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.


 

A Verbal Fight

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

No happy ending hard to tell who wins. Hate to think it could get that bad. Sorry no complement.
