Serial Killer

:Serial killer:

I just tolerated

When beautiful women

In designer sarees invaded

Our living room..

…Women who wore

Glittering ornaments

And talked nothing but

Brides and bridegrooms…

My logic hid

When witches chanted mantras

Kid ghosts ran helter-skelter

When a lady turned Into a snake

And I secretly wished

For a snake charmer….

I turned my ears deaf

When everybody

Discussed about Sasural of Simar

And hid my envy

When my wife eulogized

That dancing star Amar..

But this is too much

Actor killed last week’s episode

Came alive now, thanks to the director

Enough is enough

Hand me over the remote

I want to be a serial killer…
