Fate sure does have a weird, twisted sense of humour
I can say for sure, it's not just another passing rumour
Valentine rhymes I wrote, full of crap, but without fail
Every year, hoping for a love story like "You've got M@il"
Yet, nothing happened, not one gal seemed impressed
Even as they read it and laughed, and I got depressed
And then, one fine day, just like that, out of nowhere
Randomness or destiny, I really don't know nor care
She walked into my life, and I started feeling blessed!
After scouring the marriage market through shaadi.com
Getting worried about the pressure on her dad and mom
One day, she decided, let me try out a real life rom-com!
She still struggles to fathom why she fell for this stupid con
How the hell does the majestic Queen fall victim to a mere pawn
Except, in her heart, she knows that all the Knights were gone!
Soon, she realized that pawns were really the best
As all the other pieces get killed and go to rest
In the chess game called life, the pawn marches on
Deep into enemy territory, even if all hope is gone...
You see, the humble pawn moves but one step at a time,
Even as other pieces fight, the pawn avoids blood and grime
Soldiering on, till he wins over the Queen with his sappy rhyme!

PS: As usual, I pay tribute to the day I won the marriage lottery. With a proposal in rhyme! Frogs croak, I rhyme, and we both get the princess!
PS2: I have been accused of spending too much time on chess. Guilty as charged.
