Poverty



An old man
In a cold wintry morning
With his old wife sat on a veranda
The old wife told,
“ No food today”
The old man retorted,
Go and seek a means, I am going for tomorrow”
The old wife prostrated her legs
She said, “ I had a streak of good luck during my youth”
She murmurs and said, “ I am the poor squalor in this poor cottage”
When she turned back,
Her husband had already gone.
