Love For Work And Family Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

Love for work and family
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
Love is like the music of Jethro Tull
It can make diesel out of rice hulls as I did a few times along with a co-worker in Prof. Kuester's chemical engineering lab in ASU
This ensured that life was not dull
And I had material to mull on while being very much in love with my husband whom I had been married to for a year;

Love is like the music of Pink Floyd
It can make the likes of Prof. Uttal who think of research projects
Where I was a paid psychology subject where, within the blink of an eye, I could click the mousekey and make the choice
And drink in the feeling of success at receiving paycheques which could have been more sizeable;

Love is like the music of The Doors
For it can make one's heart soar
And despite all odds, make it
And "break on through to the other side";

Love is like the music of Beatles
It has the goodness of Skittles
And the beauty of which one must not belittle
For it shows the mettle of which mankind is made of;

Love is like the music of Radiohead
And in Canada, it weaves a Justin Trudeau thread
And I lie on a DaddyO bed
And as my Live Streamed videos and related creative endeavours have not yet gotten anywhere on CBC
And since I have not gotten anywhere yet, I wonder which side is made;

Love is like the music of Coldplay
It strikes a bold ray through one's heart
And brings out sold trays of coffee and tea
Which speak of old frays; (fray = unravel)

Love is like the beautiful melody
And has the beat of Bohemian Rhapsody
And brings out the goodness of study
During which one makes buddies like people and computers
Which occasionally bring out the blues like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy
And believe it or not, cures maladies. (malady = disease or illness)
