Perfect in Every Sense

by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Picture this guy

He was consoling me

Because I was so upset

Over the death of his sister

He assured me that

His sister was much better off six feet under

Because, her husband treated her so badly

She had absolutely no life

He never had a good word to say to her

He had a bad temper etc. etc.

I looked at him askance

He treated his wife equally badly

She barely had a life of her own

He never had a good word to say to her

Had a fowl temper etc. etc.

So, by that criteria

Shouldn't he have taken a running jump - long ago?

Not so

He wouldn't have agreed with that theory

He never held a mirror up to himself

And therefore was confident that he

Was perfect in every sense
