No one has the acumen
And sagacity as of him.
That is our Kalaigner.
2. No one of his party
Should prostrate before the leaders.
That's Kalaigner's culture.
3. When the populace ran.
Towards the actors, he wasn't cracked.
That's Kalaigner's nature.
4. He proselytised the mass
And preached them ideals from the dais.
Till now he isn't tired.
5. The. Corrupt leaderess
Abused him with insults to keep
Him off the assembly.
6. His pun, jokes and satire
Alarmed the pigheaded rulers.
They're Kalaigner's forte.
7. Readers of his oeuvre
Became inspired orators.
He's of Shakespeare's mould?
8. He is democratic
In thoughts, agitations and deeds.
He is perspicacious.
9. Scathing attack on him
Pleased him as plaudits and tributes.
But his foes lost their fame.
10. His scintillating wits
Rattled the holy saints to run.
He's a hawk-eyed leader.
