Meenas PoemsI do not earn anything
leave alone tens or hundreds
but I spend.
I do not save anything
not tens or hundreds
but I spend.
I do not invest
never in tens or hundreds
but I spend.
How could you?
without tens and hundreds spend
you might ask.
I myself do not know
as tens or hundreds do not hold me
I spend in spite.
I am supposed to be thrifty
a person without tens and hundreds.
Is it not a best joke?
The regular chores wherever you may be
be it in your home town or abroad
seem to be the same all throughout.
Amused I find myself when people ask
how you spend time over board?
straightening up I thinks for a while.
Nothing pretty different for me anywhere
with the routine behind you
reading, writing and cooking.
With the roof over the head as it should be
with a comfortable working space
I feel no difference wherever it be.
Shopping has always been not my way of life
with a few wants and desire
find great comfort at home with my companions.
Companions, you might wonder who could they be?
there be not life around but lively things across
throwing light on topics of interests that carry me on.
By now,
you would have guessed what they are?
being that of books and my computer
those take me around the world from where I am ?
After giving out so much I ponder
why they be so inquisitive on my day-to-day work?
as I am a very ordinary person known not by many.
I settle down with ease quiet looking around
they be asking all these for the sake of talking
a time pass for them not for anything serious as I think.
Count and spend say the wise.
Spend little save lot say the aged.
One has to live in comfort feel I.
One has to see places think I.
One has to eat well feel I.
One has to buy the necessities feel I.
One cannot count while buying feel I.
One cannot thrive by counting feel I.
One has to spend with ease feel I.
The more you count the more you save
by buying and spending nothing in the wave.
Differing from the wise say I
spend what you want and try
without fear at the least one buy.
