Some Rhymes And A Poem With Rhythm Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

It all began with the mental hunt for 2 tea pots and 2 coffee mugs (written in 2016)
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
1. It's a cup of strong coffee and robust tea.
2. Coffee brings the power house while tea gives an invigorating scent.
3. Coffee makes one's sale to the beau while tea gets rid of the pale hue.
4. Coffee gets rid of the draft of cold air while tea lets one sail in a raft and both let you like the daft and practise your craft.
5. Coffee is for laughs while tea lets you sail the seven seas from home.
Three's company and with a second or a fourth, it could be rollicking fun
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
Howdy, Folks, I come to you live from Toronto
In my dowdy but decollette home clothes
Anticipating the wine, Apothic Crush which promises sweet romance
From my husband who I swear, would fancy me in a gothic lush rush
With Teddys or baby dolls picked up from Victoria's Secret Store, Eaton Centre
But I would like to talk to somebody like Freddy Threepwood for it would be fun;

I believe in flings with romance attached to them, it has been proven
And I do throw away rings offered to me
Inspite of the inner voice which sings at the thought of Justin Trudeau, PM of Canada
A price catch even for an interview or a paid appointment at the PM's office or on the personal level because of his earnest personality and handsome persona
The other ring brings promise of a changed future from Barack Obama, President of USA
Also a dream come true even for an interview or a paid appointment at the Oval Office or on the personal level because of his scintillating personality and really attractive persona
The third ring is like a precious Ming vase which, at the outset, does not seem like a whale of a catch and who is David Cameron, PM of Britain
But there is the aspect of the British which has both "glitter and glamour" and old world charm and any opportunity with him in a work related situation or even on a personal basis, would be landing the salmon in because of his really special personality and personable looks;

But alas! I said that I love my husband and am in a reasonably happy marriage albeit with a bit of crabby husband
Who excuses my slightly flabby tummy and lets me create in peace when he is busy and there is no pressing engagement or home work
And I, as in ABBA's I have a dream, believe in angels and everything good and true
And more than anything else in the world, other than a special future unmarred by ill wishes for both my husband and son and me,
Wish for a career oriented future;

The movie by writer-director, Phil Alden Robinson, Field of Dreams filed away in my Field of Vision
For its Field of Play, The Sky is the Limit, is my inspiration to a small extent other than in the hero's and heroine's blitheness in going into debt
And I remembered that the sun rises in the east but sets in the west but the sun rays travel everywhere in straight lines but do reflect and refract and diffract
And it is all about getting set to go before one gets set and goes places;

If it is all about a possible An Affair to Remember with the opposite sex, may be
It is also about the savoir faire, mysterious, magical or mystical, at coffee parties and tea parties [From Oxford English Dictionary, Savoir Faire = the ability to act appropriately in social situations]
And preventing murder of aspirations by the pink links
And one must not deny the appeal of men a la carte
And I do so like an entrée with variety
And variety is, of course, the spice of life
But in a trice or with deliberation, I must say that tomorrow brings another day to cherish
And with people to care for, a career is all I wish, as a chemical engineer;

As a woman, with my husband by my side,
I do so like a continental kiss on the hand
But a diamond tipped pen is an engineer's best friend; [(Adapted from Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen prefer blondes from The Wordsworth Dictionary of Quotations Edited by Connie Robertson) ]
I do so like a man who lets you dot your I's with circles
But lets you curve your C's (career)and D's (debts)and B's (boudoir and bed)
And lets you look dashing with your dashes in the A's (achievements) .
