“Our family doesn’t have a head.
Only an expanded heart and two bums, typically waggling in time to a tune.
Patriarchy is best parked at the door.”

So, you’ve eliminated from Life, a spice
A Patriarch is imperative when one needs advice
Our’s is so sagacious
Practical and tenacious
Even more, our Matriarch is twice as nice!
I love the idea of the sign. Is it to be treated as part of general instructions for all visitors or are you trying to send a message to someone specific? I was not aware that patriarchy is such a menace in this country.
Aunty G, love your ditty. Are you perchance writing a book?
An OJ ism topped with a dollop of Aunty G.. the perfect bite of sensible delight 😀
Meera, my dear, i can’t write a book
‘Cos, you see, if you closely look
They’re relevant to the subject
Very few stand-alone-object
But thanks for the compliment, which i happily took!i
Alice, O’ Wonder, you too rhyme well
Your words always make my heart swell
But, enough said
Shouldn’t reach my head
And bless OJ’s blog, where we so well gel!
Aunty G: You just took the most loaded term in the dictionary and transformed it into a Santa Claus figure! I’m laughing even as I butt my head against a wall.
Meera: Oh general directions for all who enter! Your third sentence had me sucking my breath in. Then I wrote a post about it. An email’s coming your way. 😉
alice: We’re so yummylicious around these parts, no? 🙂
I think the image I conjured up via your words is a cute one of a Headless Heart with Two Bums wiggling away and a Jukebox blasting music! I like the words on the doormat. Now is this to give tacit warning to The Boy that patriarchy is best left at the door, or else……?!
Bicharo Boy! I can’t see him wielding the vaylan (rolling pin) of patriarchy.
Abanty: The Boy doesn’t need any patriarchy alerts. 😆 And why is he “bicharo”?
