Chameli
Mrs Zomach!
She became a divorcee for the third time…
and she was happy like an Indian mother
pregnant for the third time.
The reason this time around
was no canonical disarray.
But he had a fluffy hair
as he could not afford a haircut
that became expensive for the fourth time
in the same year when gasoline was not revised.
Instead of a Murray’s pomade
he did that Chameli stuff from the backstreet shop!

Why is "an Indian mother pregnant for the third time" necessarily happy? "When gasoline was not revised" is prose, not poetry. You certainly have wonderful poetical gifts, please use them.

This one is a socio-political satire and is not a complete poetic one. Hence there are mock pointers like, "an Indian mother pregnant for the third time" is happy ignoring the population issue in a country like India, ignoring their family status to feed upon their children. The things have been felt by me apt for the subject and I am sorry for letting you down while attempting to read some poetic one. Maybe you can try some other compositions of mine.
