A Tanka Of Sorts



gasp and shock horror
a vegetarian meets
his future wife's folks
must be hiding his sharp horns
pitchfork and long tail



not always easy
cultural diversity
can come at a cost
true love never runs smoothly
with disapproving in laws

    Every family is different that is what makes the world such an interesting place. Luckily I have always been able to adjust and satisfy the mother when courting the daughter that I enjoyed every mouthful!
