Don’t Try To Convince Me By Condescend Words! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Don’t Try To Convince Me By Condescend Words!

Rating: 5.0


In literature, the husband who goes to harlot
may come back to wife after losing wealth;

If so, usually he sends bard to console the wife
Saying good words and make her to accept him!

The wife makes fuss in order to correct him
And do not offer consent immediately!

.....The wife tells the Bard! ..

O’ Bard! Don’t say condescend words
to me, to convince me about my husband!

If you want to say, since I am of no use to my husband,
(who belongs to land of agriculture and its surroundings)
Similar to the left side of the drum, unsuitable for beat,

You take slow steps, slink and sneak to tell the harlot
Who might be useful like the right side of the drum!
