Limerick- Self Defence Poem by Valsa George

Limerick- Self Defence

Rating: 5.0


A man always carried a sharp knife
He was afraid of his brutish wife
All thought him to be queer
From him, children ran in fear
Nobody knew how deep was his inner strife!

Suicide (A Reply to Self Defence by Valsa George Poor man! Committed suicide with his knife How he could kill his beloved wife, Couldn't be punished, an offence, That ne'er needs any defence, The only option to end the strife.. Should I submit this reply at PH?
