The Teaser
Come to the terrace, would you? My Love,
If you wish to meet, that is?!
You can get lost if you don't..1
I would certainly be more glad seeing you than my friends,
But there is a problem,
I am afraid, if caught, I would be trashed. So, I won't.2
All of my teeth have fallen now,
You still do like me, don't you?
Even when our kids distrub you a lot?4
Huh! There isn't much bother for love here.
Go! I won't talk to you.
You don't even have a moustache!5
Would you mind bathing daily?
If you are so irritated by flies,
You should also have a little jaggery.8
And now that we have found one another,
We will live happily together,
And sings songs of love for one another.

This is an enactment, and it is very hilarious.
Sarcasm is a part of most of North Indian culture. These teasers are representatives of life which isn't always sweet.
These are usually performed at weddings.
