Returns On Investment

By D.S.S. Lalitha Ujwala

Transactional transactional transactional!

Everything is transactional!

Money, love, fame you name it!

You can put a price on anything here

What did you say? Love is not transactional,

Oh you, silly goose, it is

What about a parent's love for their child? That is unconditional right?

Oh, no, no you have been greatly mistaken

Tell me what do parents expect usually?

Mhmm... A big list, you say?

Perhaps tell me one thing,

Taking care of them when they older,

Well let's leave it aside for awhile

Now, tell have you ever invested in something?

Obviously, you say? ahh, yes how foolish of me not to know this

Now you would expect returns as well? As you said 'obviously'

Won't that be the same for a parent and a child? Oh, now you say it's different, i would love to know how?

Don't mumble now! Tell us, tell all of us why is it different?

Throwing everything aside and changing the topic, oh how mindful of you

Repeat that loudly for all us

A child must take care and love their parents... hmm....can you tell us why so?

Because a child owes their parents? That's a better joke then i make

Everyone this man says a child owes their parents, laugh everyone what a joke!
