Fame and Name Considered More In Life-Game
One magazine published a poem in its front page
And asked readers to read and comment about it
Many declared the poem to be a wonderful stuff
And applauded the poet as a number one genius
In this way, many comments were given about the poem
And at last the magazine declared the secret behind it,
It took the first line from each page of the magazine
And concocted a poem to give it as a poem for all
One greatest Tamil poet went to read poetry in a gathering
He gave his poem to an ordinary poet and took latter's poem
For that man, none clapped and listened absolutely silently
They clapped for the poem read by the greatest poet grandly
The greatest poet told all the exchange of poems made
And told them that they were giving importance to fame
The entire audience kept quiet for their wrong praising
The poet requested them to keenly observe before praising!
