Hungry Husband

A poem for my wife, written on 12-Jun-1988 when I gifted her Tarla Dalal's book "New Indian Vegetarian Cookery":

Dearest, your lame excuses

Will be accepted no more

For all my stomach juices

Have now begun to pour

Give up your ketchup and French fries

Now that you have this book

And spare me from your cries

Of "I dunno how to cook"
