Grooming Makes One Pleasing. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Grooming Makes One Pleasing.



An ass is ugly, not for his nose.
He is lazy unlike the horse.
A crow is ugly, not for his black
But for his voice, unlike the koel’s.
An eagle is ugly, not for his beak,
But for his menace, unlike the parrot.
No matter how you are made,
You can make yourself lovable.
