A House With A Deferring Wife Becomes A Forest Where Tiger Lives! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A House With A Deferring Wife Becomes A Forest Where Tiger Lives!



One can’t say the house sans nothing
while one is having a chaste and good
hearted wife in the house; he has everything!

while there is no wife and there is a wife who defers
and confronts with wordy duel, that house becomes
a forest with thick bushes where tiger lives!

மனையாளில்லாத மனை

இல்லா ளகத்திருக்க இல்லாத தொன்றில்லை

புலிகிடந்த தூறாய் விடும்.21 – மூதுரை
