Creation of a Joke

These four wheelers, bring forth an idiot
shutting the door when key you forget.
Feeling stupid, praying for a genie
instead I saw my wife in balcony.
Gesticulating in bharatnatayam
seeking answers, like a deaf and dumb.
Worthy neighbourers worth their salt
warding off their inquisitive assault
showed them the key, mocking inside
their lips stretching to ears, eyes opened wide.
Rolled out obituaries one by one
Couldn’t phantom, has a crime been done?
One bubbly lady shouted, mouth spread wide
“THANK GOD T K JI, YOU ARE NOT INSIDE! ”
