Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Who by mother is well suckled,
And who by mother is well hugged,
Will never turn a womaniser,
And will never turn an insecure.
...

A mother in penury has her child
Suckles her breast and slumber on her lap.
A mother in luxury buys her child
A feeding bottle and a silver cradle.
...

Man and woman in contacts grow
Sexually attractive to each other
Either at once, or in due course
Or at the end; no failure.
...

A woman athlete is no a beauty.
A woman wait-lifter is no a beauty.
A woman gymnast is all the beauty,
As there suppleness hasn’t suffered
...

Curvaceous back, cascading lock,
Slender neck and graceful walk
When watched behind her back
Can only give incomplete kick
...

Hate for hate you need not requite. Be mute.
Without fuel in stock will soon die her hate.
Be in pursuit even if she is out to refute.
She will be in your arms, at opportune time.
...

When that lovely woman came out
At dawn, off her bed, in semi sleep,
Down her shoulder fell a cascading hair
In wild disorder. Yet how orderly!
...

Pepper finds its value at the hand of Arabs.
Butter gets its worth at the hand of Eskimos.
These go in neglect if landed in wrong hands.
Better be alone if unable to find the right hand.
...

The one, who is particular that his wife
Must be a virgin, share0 with him alone
Her flesh and love and shall, otherwise, be
Over-thrown outright, ignores these norms
...

Flowers dress themselves in different colours
To attract bees, who are not colourful.
Flowers mind visits of bees, not their colour.
Hence women dress to get spotted.
...
