How The Spider Lost Its Web Cage And Unhappy? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

How The Spider Lost Its Web Cage And Unhappy?



The Brahmans were getting gold coins
...in addition to cows!

The poets were moving on the elephants
...resembling prestigious huge 'manthara' mountain

on the birthday (star Revathi) celebration of our fatherly king
...who has a leaf-like edged spear!

But, what a pity! How the spider
...lost its web cage and unhappy?

While everybody was returning happy
...after getting sufficient gifts on the king's birthday,

the spider lost its web and nest
...while cleaning the palace for the celebration!
