Very humorous! Poor fellow you! I think you have manged the parry the blows because of the help extended by the selfless old friend, the Punching bag. Ha! Ha!

Marvelous tale and funny write. I read the poem thoroughly and at first I could not but laugh. I found grains of truth that happen in a family. Many thanks for sharing

I loved reading this one! a lot of punch in it. Yet riddled with deep meaning. Happens in every household. In mine too. Yet I would not have come out with such a wonderful way of putting it in black and white. It is a hearty one too. I could not help asking my daughter read it. And she punched two in the air with laughter. She had missed her excursion too. Lovely

Great humor in the punching bag. The saga does not end there. Poor punching bag must hang on for more punches to come.

Great metaphor wish I’d thought it nice one Sir.

A very humorous write! Still under the facade of this mock poem, I can see grains of truth. Someone in the family has to take all the blame when things go against everyone's whims! Usually it is the lady of the house who is made a punching bag! Enjoyed this thoroughly!

A marvelous tale, Madathil. The father and husband, taking the metaphorical (I hope) punches to allow his beloved family to release frustration. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Peace
