Wiles

By Shriram Venkatachalapathy 

"Sir! Thanks for my pension"
"My Man! Please do not mention"
"Oh God! Now there is no tension,
As a treat for my first pension,
I shall take my wife out for a luncheon
And relieve her from the kitchen…
To relieve myself from her cooking is my actual intention
But I cannot annoy her with such a reason…
Hence, I shall tell her that it is a treat for my first pension"
