Example Poem
She Shops (Pathya vat)
On shopping day
you disappear
and it’s unclear
to me, just how.
“You go alone,
I can’t stop now”,
and anyhow
my team’s behind.
I know your ways
so I declined
and you are kind
to let me stay.
Go find treasures,
(it takes all day-
I’ll gladly pay)
just not to play.
