Woman At Fifty Is Real Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

If not earlier, at fifty,
However staid she is,
A woman is most outrageous,
The time she is threatened by menopause,
The time her chastity is passé,
The time she compensates her temptation,
The time to test her sexual vulgarism,
With guilt revenging mood,
With male punishing greed,
To indulge in sex,
To test otherwise losing lust,
With anyone handy or at hand,
For which, with reborn care for body,
With reborn vigour in body,
With vulture in her mind,
She rivals young women
And hooks out their mating lads.
