Sensible Persons Should Not Do Certain Things! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Sensible Persons Should Not Do Certain Things!



Climbing higher and higher over the long branch
…of the tall tree is dangerous!

Going towards the ghastly approaching
…and terribly angry elephant is dangerous!

The hole and place where the poisonous snake
…hides and lives is dangerous!

The pathway in the forest
…where the fierce tiger lives is dangerous!

நெடுமர நீள்கோட் டுயர்பாய்த லின்னா1

We can say for sure that danger lurks in certain places! The wise thing is to avoid such places, unless one is in for an adventure! The examples sited are so convincing!
