All In A Day (Haiku)

Left home for a drive
Wanted to go to a store
Buy some desi spice

Enjoying the ride
My auto stopped suddenly
Accident ahead
 
(Courtesy: Yahoo)

Cannot turn around
Waited, waited, and waited
Finally gave up

Cars started moving
Took the next return exit
Back home at long last

No idli batter
No coconut for chutney
Restaurant tonight

Other half loves this
No cooking no production
Restaurants we love

  8. Sometimes, due to such unexpected events nothing goes according to the plan. Even though it might be frustrating, we realize later that it might be to our benefit after all! I have experienced it many times.

  16. Haha...your wife is happy...no cooking?

    It is nice to take a day off from cooking, isn't it...you can also eat good food on those days (my husband says so!).
    I love to eat out after a day's shopping with relatives, esp.!

    You have expressed well in these haiku lines!
