Troublesome Forty [9 - 11] Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

9. The toddy drinkers feel the angst in an old village rid of toddy.
It is achy to the beneficiaries if the benefactors aren't there.
The beauty of a miser is agonizing.
To rein a horse without saddles is alarming.

10.It is painful to recite poetry before the uncomprehending fools.
To tread alone in a narrow path in dark is worrisome.
Don't seek freebies from graceless persons.
It is distressing to receive something from a pauper.

11.To embrace the unwilling wife is miserable.
It is troubling to make friendship with the narrow-minded.
To join a lecherous one is grieving.
To walk before the eyes of lenders of money is finicky..
