Acquaintance Across The Gender Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

As a bachelor of twenty,
I found my way to a village,
Where I fell for a pretty lass.
I made her father's acquaintance
In order to get hers, and got it.

As a prime person of thirty,
I found my way to a premise,
Where I fell for a pleasant girl.
I made her brother's acquaintance
In order to have hers, and got it.

As a grown up man of forty,
I found my way to a camp site,
Where I fell for a poised woman.
I sought her husband's acquaintance
In order to make hers, and got it.

As a matured man of fifty,
I found my way to a new site,
Where I fell for a ripe lady.
I made her son's acquaintance
In order to have hers, and got it.

As a seasoned man of sixty,
I made my way to my neigbourhood,
Where I fell for a charming girl.
I made her grandma's acquaintance
In order to make hers, and got it.

Getting a mere acquaintance
Of an opposite sex itself
Will work wonders in both live hearts
And enliven the lives they live
Without any expression of love.
