She Lives For Herself Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

She Lives For Herself



She is a good cook and a slave to tongue.
She makes good dishes; her spouse benefits.
As advised, she takes fruits and gives him too.
Now she takes garlic and gives it to him.
She thought he'd take it as her kindness.
He knows that it's for her sake that she does.
He knows that no one lives for the other
At their old age expecting their exit.

Old age is very complicated in many ways! The last two lines are not that glamorous, though the poet tries to speak the truth!
