Settling the accounts was never her forte.
Settling bills too escaped her attention.
Liking to buy things when she wants
whether needed or not was not her look out.
she bought not one or two
but purchased in scores
telling herself that she is collecting them
so as the next generation or the next-next generation
would find it useful and precious.
So saying she had a volume of gold in kilograms
and silver too double that of gold
with the treasure of diamonds
all not kept in lockers but in her wardrobe
lying there uncared as though they were not of value.
The bills were paid by her staff deputed by her husband
and on she went with her shopping spree.
Well, now with the gold price shooting up
and the silver and diamond equally getting above
she would pass on to her generations
enormous wealth all which could be carried in hand
Truly, she is a farsighted lady bestowed with financial planning.
