How To Make A Man Happy…. Poem by Angelina Pandian

Work, routine, tensions
Or even if the day went by
Just like that
End of day, saps
The energy dry - Whatever
The job or work maybe
A man is tired and drained
By the time the day is out….
The first thing he wants to see
On the face of the one
Who opens the door….
Is not a frown….
Not a sputter of anger
Or a long drawn scowl
But, just a simple Smile!
Next, a happy welcome word
Which bids him come in
Relax blend into the sofa
A cup of hot coffee next
Or soothing tea to sip by
A patient ear, a wife, who’ll ask
“Did your day go well? ”
By now refreshed and relaxed
Turn on the Tele listen
To some news which is never new
Some music, sports or serial
While the aroma of cooking
Fills the house pleasantly
Children about his feet
At play or some home work
Take the laptop and go
To poemhunter to browse
To read to upload to comment
While waiting for the wife
To finish her chores and join him!
All a man wants
At end of day…..
Is just some plain old fashioned
Love …peace…and happiness!
If all this is there
What man can happier be?

This is a poem written in response to a forward message received by me about How to make a woman happy? With some 40-45 one liners. I forwarded the same to my friend Premji and he set me the task of compiling a man’s point of view, so, here’s my poem again given seed by Prem.
