MY HUSBAND

 

First night he told me..

‘I am already married…

The computer is my first partner

My profession is my first love’..

 

Second night into our bed

He took his lap top..

Placed it on the top of his lap

Which was my seat in the previous night

 

I can never hate computer

She is ubiquitous….

Cajoling him tantalizing him

Sexier and younger than me…

 

There is something new

She can give him everyday

I cogitated over tirelessly..

How can I give him something new

 

“I am carrying our baby”

I triumphed one day..

In exploding happiness and bliss

He once again seated me on his lap

Sitting on the study table

Lap top ‘screen saved’ its single huge eye

 

Wonders came one after the other..

My children very often claimed his lap

Laptop learned to compromise

Learned to spare his lap for us..

No other way…

 

My hubby learned to log into my soul

To discover something new everyday..

He says there is much hope for research

As, he has more to discover in his wife.

 

He logged into me very often

Using the pass word LOVE

When he types that word

I open my all files in front of him…

 

Voraciously, with a never ending verve

He starts browsing ….

At each discovery he sighs in contentment

…EUREEKA!!!! he whispers in my ears.

In this world. Computer and wife cannot always be in the same room. I like the story in the poem. Sometime we need to take care of the poor spouse. Computer won't keep you warm on a cold night. I like the very good ending. A outstanding poem.

Very unique poem indeed. Wife vs a computer. =)) I just love the idea. Love how in the end, it's stated that nothing can truly top a loved one in one man's heart.
This is truly a fun read but at the same time it contains meaningful lessons about love.

I like the 'modern' touch to love you gave :) You have a unique relationship with your husband, enjoy that. God bless.

Sounds to me like cyberspace infatuation...
Nothing can take the place of the real
thing and I do mean nothing. Nicely expressed
but sadly non-human...

i think you should flirt more to your husband so that you can redeem the warmth of your relationship to him:)

Did we marry the same man??? This was clever, concise, the metaphor screamed out brilliantly and this is great..a favourite for sure
