You took her out to the
Cosy restaurant for dinner,
I was vociferous in my appeal,
For you as a sinner.
Social taboos should never erect
A wall between us,
Otherwise our relationship
Will take a turn for the disastrous,
My catty instincts
Were aroused by your-
Blast of voice
If only I could have told myself
Never mind, it’s his choice.
The norm of the day is
Follow a strict diet
A pound here or there will not
A tremendous impact
Make on the weight
Live and let live,
Take and learn to give.
