Example Poem

She Shops     (Pathya vat)

On shopping day

you disappear

and it's unclear

to me, just how.

"You go alone,

I can't stop now",

and anyhow

my team's behind.

I know your ways

so I declined

and you are kind

to let me stay.

Go find treasures,

(it takes all day-

I'll gladly pay)

just not to play.
