"There would be plenty of Indian women who believe they have married a dog, but yesterday, P. Selvakumar, a man from Tamilnadu, married a stray female dog, apparently to atone for animal cruelty in his past.
Selvakumar had stoned a couple of dogs to death several years ago and hung their bodies from a tree. His repentance didn’t come out of any self-examination, but out of the fact that he became paralyzed and lost hearing in one ear a few years afterwards. An astrologer convinced Selvakumar that the paralytic attack was part of his bad karma, and Selvakumar’s only hope for atonement was by marrying a female dog.
So, yesterday, Selvakumar took the first step towards atoning for his past sins. As is customary in India, the bride sat on the groom’s left side, wore a bright colored sari, and everyone feasted afterwards."
A man in Tamilnad
Mr P Selvakumar
With whom you may or may not agree
To atone for his past sins
Of killing 2 dogs
Married a female dog Selvi
Bow vows holy matrimony
An unusual wedding ceremony
A life with an end to
Womanly nag and misery
Only a stray bark
No bitching on his internet time
Said Mr. Selvakumar to me
Wife who is dogmatic
No human shopping spree
The only question mark
Is on the impending progeny
From the newspapers
I add them to my
Pedestrian poetry
Man from Tamilnad
Man best friend and wife
A canine bitch called Selvi
