Overweight Wife

Human psyche thinks relations are business deals

The wife is overweight,

nothing wrong with that,

love is important,

loyalty too.

But we all know,

which way the world leans.

The man would have hurt,

or discarded her,

pursued affairs,

if not for the gains.

People want a good deal

from relationships,

as if they are businesses.

But he calls her “baby.”

You know the reason?

She’s the only daughter,

of wealthy parents,

with a big inheritance.

She has a job,

and earns decent.

So, he calls her “baby,”

though she is overweight.

So if you want,

to be treated right,

either be born,

to rich parents,

or, if not,

develop skills

to ensure self-respect.

otherwise,

if you’re overweight,

you may be treated,

like a doormats,

you have to face brickbats.
