“No Life Without Wife”

“No Life Without Wife”

*******************

Man is a social animal,  scornfully also a civilized beast,

Endeavouring ever to rejoice life, choosing best food and feast !

Father-Mother,  Brother-Sister,  Son-Daughter, Uncle-Aunt,

All be the grown flowers of a fertile family plant !

# Feminine genders grow all these flowers,  planted by masculine powers,

Children become men and women,  spending round-the-clock hours !

All relations  jointly rejoice life,  superlative being only the  wife !

“No life without wife”,  as  she only  stands by,  even in moments of  strife!

# Save in the case of a virago,  wife is a wheel to carry on  life’s cart to go !

A virago ever preserves her arrogant ego,  rendering relations liable to forgo,

Aggressive remains she wherever to go,  never ready leisurely to  bow low !

Thus she vitiates homely atmosphere with her belying bravado!

# Hence,  always choose a bride,  who seems to be of  your life’s pride,

She should be  well taught by her parents so as to be a family guide !

To prove her prudence after marriage to uphold relations of each side!

And she should be wise enough to prevent family from going to divide!

Very beautiful meaningful poem though told in light witty style enlightening the important role of women, particularly all wives in noble families and hence the need for care & discretion while selecting a new entrant in the family. This being a lost wisdom today the younger generation may not find it important or acceptable, but it doesn’t matter.
The fact is always a fact.
Ashwini Kumar ji, thanks very much for writing the beautiful poem & sharing it here.
