This thing was my wedding invitation: The most amusing poem I've ever written.
As a kid of six, I once exclaimed -
This thing called marriage,
For me it ain't!
A pre-teen at 12,
I saw my cousin be wed;
And the phenomena - oh my!
It simply filled me with dread.
At 18, now an adult;
They asked 'did I think differently now?'
They must have thought it possible;
Though I couldn't see how!
24 brought bruised feelings.
My ego felt so small and wee!
I put up my feet - resigned then;
That love - thus marriage - weren't for me!
But then...... I re-met Shrikant,
Friend of yore,
Chemistry happened;
And much more!
Cautious still, I almost ran;
But life, that idiot, had a different plan!
It showed me what I felt with Shri;
How he very nearly completed me!
How my life changed not -
but was prettier still;
How Shri perfectly fit the bill.
A live - in was appealing,
But lets legalize it, we thought;
So, now at half past 27,
I'm tying the knot!
And we'd really like it,
If you were there;
To partake our happiness,
And a photo to bear!
And this is what it got made into by the husband: that why I love my life:)
