Joti, a poor Punjabi girl makes her wedding vows.
Doggerel Dave said:

Not fond of a piece of poetry which requires lengthy background commentary (the piece I feel should justify itself). However some explanation re your current work(s) would be appreciated.

Dancing with Death.
Doggerel Dave said:

I understand your pain when close family members pass on and leave you with your grief.
But what have funerals got to do with it, specifically your own? By the time of the funeral you are well and truly gone......at least one would hope so. A teeny bit embarrassing if halfway through the service the coffin lid gets kicked off and the body leaps out and cha-chas down the isle and off to find a decent pub......

When I leave this world I have arranged for the song at the end of my funeral to be Rock Around the Clock!

The Past.
Bobby O said:

I guess what you pose here is a reality that slips into places of hope and subtracts. My percentage is that conjured of a stubborn arrogance. They’re my dreams , it’s my recollection , it’s a place where I insist upon a modicum of control. Maybe the girl left me on a day just after I got fired and all that chases me w the consequence of avalanche. But as soon as I regain normal pulse my dreams will be of my next job that I’m now free to find and the next girl who will be attached to my idiosyncrasies and rain might compel a search for a great book. They are my thoughts and dreams and they forever will reside in the asset column. I won’t debate others w views differed but I won’t get trapped into agreeing.
