Dear Editor

TV programmes shown during weekends are boring. I noticed that better movies are

aired on weekdays. Unfortunately, working parents and school-going children tend to

miss them because such movies are shown rather late that is from 10 p.m. to

midnight.

Working Mum

Well, it was raining heavily

If only she’d been wise

And listened to the advice

Never to compromise

With pleasure seeking guys

She’d have been free from the “hows and whys”

Now here’s a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really means nice

Then you’ll never be losing at dice

Through you may lose your heart once or twice.
