The Two Minute Saga

Dear Husband,


Here's simple math,
Read it with utter devotion.
There's foundation, concealer, blusher, face powder,
And these are totally different from body lotion.
It's an endless list,
Only for face you see.
And I apply the bare minimum,
The precise count is three.
First goes the face cream,
Followed by some circular movement of fingers on cheeks.
Different strokes depending on age and skin type,
Trust me, it's a fine technique.
It's either kohl or mascara next,
To dress my gorgeous eyes.
Remember that very place,
Where the whole universe lies.
The last step of course is,
A gentle application of lip gloss my love,
And even for this bare minimum,
Two minutes are never enough.
Next time if you'll shout,
I will hand over your dream wife to you.
A packet of instant noodles,
Cooked under minutes two.


Your wife, not some fast food.

P. S. - Jo do minute mein taiyaar ho jaye, usey biwi nahin, noodles kahtey hain.
