Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Husband In Hot Soup

HUSBAND IN HOT SOUP

For twenty years of nearly happy married life
He heard the harping voice of high decibel wife 
And in the process lost half of his hearing sense
The other half now gets tense in wife’s presence.

He would not start any conversation never
Over the years the ears have become clever
They have learnt to save the strained drums
From the cracking sound of wife’s vocal drum.

She once asked him to buy a kilo of tiny potato
He rushed to shop bought a bag of ripe tomato
When he found himself in a bowl of hot soup
The failed ears silently fanned his head nonstop.

Gershon Wolf March 4, 2018 at 7:01 PM Just had to read this one when I saw the title. Boy, can I relate---except that I'm lucky: My wife never complains; puts her shoulder to the task and grinds away, the result always being pleasing cuisine, décor, or ambience in our lovely home...So, when I bring home "the tomato," she smiles---and I go back to get the potato, GLADLY!. Thanks for sharing this poem. Best wishes, Gershon Subimal Sinha-Roy March 5, 2018 at 12:09 AM Thank you, Gershon for sharing and liking the poem.
