Asked my husband last summer to fix all the taps
and he nodded, "Yes dear", and then went in for a nap
months have passed now, and the taps still sing their tearful songs
while my hubby shrugs his shoulders and hums shamelessly along
I remember telling him the fan rattled like a train
and he'd nodded, "Yes dear", before sipping chai again
need I tell you, the fan still clatters loud and strong?
while my man headbangs to the rhythm of its "heavy metal song".
Every time I ask him to pay the doodhwala at the gate
he nods, "Yes dear", and promises "I'm on it, just wait"
when the milkman finally leaves, muttering under his breath,
hubby whistles filmy tunes, unfazed by piling debt.
And then one day, I turned to my AI assistant for relief
with the hope that it'd fix my woes, or spare me further grief
I now know it might not get things fixed, or settle pending bills
but for sure, whatever it promises, I know it will fulfill
