In-Laws Poem by Sandra Martyres
In-Laws
I never cease to be amazed
By the manner totally unfazed
Of recounting dreadful tales about in-laws
Most of which resemble the behaviour of out-laws
We are obsessed with the mother-in-law syndrome
With unending woeful stories told from many a home
To make bad matters worse even the most popular TV serial
Focuses on exactly the same subject material
And despite the reams already written
The average Indian woman is still smitten
By the mother-in-law / daughter-in-law equations
That have been carried down to her over generations
Given that more women are entering the work place
We can only hope that this family centred menace
Will ultimately get watered down
And that such tales will not only draw a frown
But disappear completely over time
Leaving women a happier social code to define
Have to agree with you Sandra...they aren't all bad are they...brilliant write....thank you Fi....10++
Another brillient work from u Sandra. I wonder, how u can write so meaningfully and cogently in such simplest English! Truly poetic. Truly modern.
an in-law is the phenomenon personified of one's own uncompromising attitude...good meaningful write...10
Sandra let me join you with this positive thought in mind! All negative minded mum-in-laws must not forget that they were newly married bride -once upon a time, wishing to be treaded kind! 10+ -Raj Nandy
a noble thought ably put across for all the idiots to know and follow. shan
Interesting write, I think it is always best to try to get on with your mother-in-law lol Lynda xx 10
these substandard serials, as u said, r adding further poison to the relationship...no way to stop?
Really good write. Loved the message and the tone in this one!
