Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

She gave me her wallet
And complained to the police
That I had stolen it..
...

It is a shame to be a paramour.
It is a shame to be a concubine.
The titles of ‘husband' and ‘wife' weigh more.
Thus families escape from adultery.
...

God is blind to man's sufferings.
Man suffers not because of he's flaws
But because he is His plaything.
Seeds are sown; with them weeds are grown.
...

Confidence means surmounting shyness.
Shyness will block you from performance.
Fear of ridicule in case you fail
And the doubt you have in your ability
...

A car is a temptress.
She is seen for her body.
She improves on painting.
A new one is in demand.
...

I don't like those who are wealthy;
I don't like those who're aggressive.
I don't like those womanizers.
I regret I could not become them.
...

Man does not value a woman
Who dresses provokingly,
Who is easy to flirt with
And who is a great liar.
...

Death is most dreaded
Not that it is painful
Or horrible but that
It is not retrievable
...

The sister gone, her husband is none.
The brother gone, his wife too is none.
Kin clings to the respective partner.
The marriage binds the pair only that much.
...

The king had a halt to pass out the night.
The charioteer had to guard the horse
For which he must not sleep through out the night.
The king suggested thinking on something.
...
