A cycas plant and a coconut plant, <br />Grown together in a nursery, <br />Were transplanted severally. <br />They grew to different heights in due course. <br />It was the dwarf cycas which had been proud <br />To say that the coconut tree was his play mate. <br /> <br />A mango seed and a banyan seed, <br />Sown and watered in a germination bed, <br />Were transplanted severally. <br />They grew to different shapes in due course <br />It was the little mango which was proud <br />That the banyan tree her nursery mate. <br />04.02.2009<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-childhood-friendship/
