What is your income
I asked,
And he replied
I have no income
But only expenditure.
What is your expenditure
I asked again,
And he replied
I have no expenditure
But only income.
And I am confused.
He replied,
Worry not dear sir,
I am nothing to confirm.
Hours after hours,
I spent my time
Not in wakefulness
But in sleep.
And I feel
No end of toil
And trouble.
He smiled
And smiled.
