Change Of Guard Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The plaited hair gave way for a chignon;
The low neck blouse is made a close neck one.
A plain silk sari in the place the voile;
A poise look replacing the inmate's look;

The maid has succeeded the queen in style.
It's the reward for her whole-time sacrifice
To the queen and she claimed it for herself.
The knights were in attention and gave way.
