The astrologer's lament

Madam, please, this horoscope
Is terrrrible, it gives no scope
For lasting matrimonial bliss,
No hope at all. Consider this.


Time of birth most inauspicious
Leading planets mostly vicious
Seventh house will harm release,
Sevaai dosham if you please.
Moon behaving very badly
Meaning long term troubles, sadly.


Best to use some other ploys
For finding eligible boys.
Seek and you shall surely get.
Have you heard of Internet?

This could be one more addition to your previous post:

...when a hitherto elusive WJ posts twice a day while on holiday.

Not that we're complaining, of course. Blog away!

The client's reply...

Sir, I pray, if I am fated
Never to be truly mated,
Tell me how I might reverse
This my solitary curse.

Is there not a lucky mantra
For my happy-ever-after?
Will I need to wear a jewel?
Fight a tiger in a duel?

Tell me and I shall obey
What the planets have to say.
Money's not a thing to me.
Wait, what? How much will that be?

Ha! E-harmony afterall.

Mamma mia! Me a mamma? said...

Creatively, this holiday is doing you wonders!!

How about using all this time to start penning your thoughts for the book that will be a best-seller, one day?? Seriously!! Or how about some artwork?? No, not kidding here either!

Have been reading your blog on & off. Never commented.
Love your writing and these couplets(is that what they are called ?)

@Bong mom: Hi and welcome to the blog. Couplets sometimes, rhyming rants most others. :D
