TEETOTALER'S TOAST

A section of the wall is stacked with bottles of his choice from around the world

He asks his wife to fetch a bottle and delightedly she does

When he visits her at Amritsar she checked if the larder had his choicest brands

He's drenched her with his preferred drink and she celebrated his birthday with a flute and sparkle

Iyer in Ninja mode dictates terms to his adversary little realizing his daughter will be peeved

The dude is indifferent to the battling iyer the nosering donning women hop around fuming

Her lie in his rescue refuted by the dude makes the Ninja fret yet more

The elite at the party couldn't dare a damn who held a glass and who did not

What went into it and how it slid down throats

II now well versed with the taste that lingered as he emptied his choice

The night she drowned his absence with drink after drink

The sharabhi nariyal that was her choice not long ago

The Diktat she resents Appa staking a claim over hers

His subtle denial of her defense indicating who is the boss

Iyer's sons in law both want their way with what they have claimed from him

The veteran fighter though yet to realize the transference of rights

Amma smiles her heart content at realization that has dawned

tete a tete

Lasya the cupid that brought the duo together

The duo adored her and vied for her

When the duo contended for her attention she chose the dude over the dame

When she had sole sway over Lasya she adored her to the core

When the tyke demonstrated her love for the dude the green eyed monster took over

She tried to strike a deal to win folks love, his simple ways her undoing

A resentful Appa she's reluctant to meet especially after the evenings face off

Appa and Dad poles apart except for her they mutually doted

The mention of the dude's spell over the dame heightens the resentment further

The gracious reception and genuine respect makes no claim to thaw the animosity

Amma the peacemaker cooks up excuses to conceal the wielded barbs

The Talker is tormented by the increasing internal chatter

One was ok two manageable three a crowded brain

If these don't disappear in time

The twins and princesses clamoring for attention with multiplying internal voices

II is sure to be a wreck, the threats she voices after the loaned marks

Could be the inability to managing the chatter like her finances

The dude is driven by focused attention and gumption with no restraining voice

After II turn, its Appa now the raging bull with Amma in special damage control mode

Their antics with Lasya around them a trailer for what will unfold

HALF TRUTHS AND LIES

Imperceptible are his ways with her

The babe they obsess over has imbibed his fetish for noserings

Discernible are the baby's ways and the dame's

The dude whom the babe and dame are engrossed in

Is cause for differences results in resentment at times

A blatant liar she is and has no qualms about it

Forthright and candid is he in his dealings

The devious streak only surfaces with matters pertaining to her

Amma is content being warm and pleasant Appa hell bent to taunt

The dude chooses to slip as his wife throws a fit Embarrassed

As Appa's controlling streak and hurtful ways persist

Fiercely protective of the dude she adores

From Jaipur escapade only she has the right to nag and taunt him

They belong to each other for sure
