Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Wind in spring blows;
Petals wither.
Wind in summer blows;
Fruits fall down.
...

As much you are not responsible
for what you have done
as you are not responsible
for what you have not done.
...

There is good food and good bed.
There is fine wine and fine tune.
By is a cute lady with a melody.
You, as a king, are restless to taste.
...

In his six decade of sexual life,
During when he imagined many woman sexy,
It was she he flirted with late in age,
Who has come to rescue his arousal
...

To have Sunday as a golden day
Must there be six working days.
The rest day without work days
To precede, is tiresome, not winsome.
...

A good speaker is a bad listener.
A batsman is keen in watching.
A bowler is keen in throwing.
The bad listener hardly learns.
...

Some are thrust with crowns.
They manage to stay afloat.
Some have wrested their crowns
By virtue of their sheer talents.
...

Fish don’t store food nor do birds.
Plants store food for emergency.
Animals store food for rainy days.
Man alone store wealth for progeny.
...

Poorer than me in some knowledge,
Or in certain skill, if you've been,
I am happy to be engaged with you.
It gives me some supremacy.
...
