When I say ‘Hi!’, She bids bye. As I rush to welcome addressing 'Hello !' Oh! No! She is busy to go. I always wish to give, she won’t take. Strong bond I make, she can easily break. What’s left I can accept, she will judge and choose. In any game she wins, I am sure to lose. I am extravagant, she seems to be miser. I wake up early morn, she is a late-riser. She won’t listen when I am fluent to talk. As I laugh loud she is grave getting shock. As I feel compassion, she shows no mercy. At last ended every controversy. We decided to marry without delay. Venue selected by her, invitees were my choice. Date-time was fixed by her, I had no voice. My wish! My whims! Didn’t reach on wedding day.
