A tall, fair Meenakshi
the first of three sisters
talks straight to the face
cares for none, an erect
lady, senior to the other two,
almost like a mother.
Saraswathi, mildly fair,
possesses an admirable figure
a stickler to principles .
sharp witted and smart
speaks with incisive
penetration,
The last one, gentler
than the elder ones
kind hearted, eloquent
plays with words, impregnated
with sensibilities, pleasant
in her looks named Rukmini.
Born to an illustrious father
who endows them with
sound mind, material and money
all too much, enable them to wallow
in wealth and spirit, bowing to
none whosoever.
The three sisters,
known for their unity
once, acclaimed for their
disparity later, live with
a single thought in mind,
they being the fortunate
daughters of a great man.
