saadat tahir - Woman of substance…!

Get up late, doze half of a day. <br />Set up then a corner to pray. <br /> <br />Slowly alight the worldly steps. <br />Leisurely choose the days preps. <br /> <br />Switch the channels on the flat. <br />Comb in hand and favorite hat. <br /> <br />Mercifully a friend gets to ring <br />Munch an apple to talk a thing <br /> <br />“What to do, if she didn’t call? <br />Silently he left, again, the gall! <br /> <br />Let’s skip to market, do a day.” <br />Did with her ilk a blowing foray <br /> <br />Brag and boast, marvels around <br />If you see, be held dumbfound! <br /> <br />A calc in hand I do the pounds <br />Has me swim in frothing sounds <br /> <br />Flimsy Itsy bitsy frilly patch, <br />barely cover the ample thatch! <br /> <br />Out on a thimble put to dry. <br />Never the angler, net a fry! <br /> <br />“Who had known a girl like that? <br />And I’ve given you one but eight. <br /> <br />Praises be to my luscious lips, <br />wits, my smile, my ample hips, <br /> <br />O’ you, peasant’s leftover stuff! <br />Talk you now, in a voice so gruff, <br /> <br />Then you licked up honey clean, <br />tell me now, where you have been? <br /> <br />My pa’s the magisterial oversee, <br />And that the way, I’ll to talk to thee.” <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(June 25,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/woman-of-substance-3/
