A Pleasing Gentleman Is The One Who Is Liked For Ever! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A Pleasing Gentleman Is The One Who Is Liked For Ever!

Rating: 4.5


A person who is said to be eating pleasant food
is the one who eats without killing any life for food,
but the one who eats only vegetarian food!

A person who is said to be a hated personality
Is the one who lives with loss of cheers in his face really,
but the one who behaves with others snappishly!

A person who is said to be lonely without companion
Is the one who has not done anything good to anyone,
but the one who was idle, without helping tendency!

A person who is said to be a pleasing gentleman
Is the one who is not hated by any body whomsoever,
But the one who is a well disciplined person, liked for ever!
