Poetry in quarrels...

Even without really understanding, I used to enjoy watching two Chinese scholars reciting poems in an impromptu manner which appeared to be in response to the one recited earlier. To those who understand Chinese, I am sure they would really appreciate the literary skills shown. The scholars were usually of opposite sex and was a brilliant way to show off literacy and at the same time, woo the intended lady.

The following poems in English would seem similar but instead would prove to be a good and civil way to have a verbal fight...

WIFE:
I wrote your name on sand it got washed.
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away.
Then I wrote your name on my heart & I got Heart Attack.

HUSBAND:
God saw me hungry, he created pizza.
He saw me thirsty, he created Pepsi.
He saw me in dark, he created light.
He saw me without problems, he created YOU.

WIFE:
Twinkle twinkle little star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.

HUSBAND:
The rain makes all things beautiful.
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
Why doesn't it rain on you?

WIFE:
Roses are red; Violets are blue
Monkeys like u should be kept in zoo.
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
Not in cage but laughing at you!
