Marital Advice

Article link: Book tells Muslim men how to beat and control their wives

*

*

I bought the latest paperback

At half its listed price,

For help on my relationships

And marital advice.

*

I read the book from front to back,

By paragraph and verse,

To soak up all the sapience

The author could disperse.

*

I followed all the hints and tricks

I came across therein,

And found my spouse amenable

As she had ever been.

*

With kindness I attended her,

At morning, noon and night,

Until she asked to visit friends

And slumber overnight.

*

I scolded her and raised my voice;

I pulled her ears and hair.

And then I raised my walking stick,

To show her that I care.

*

And when my arms and legs are healed,

When hearing has returned,

I plan to go back home again

And see that book is burned.

*

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
