I had to forgo a painting I coveted, <br />For its formidable tag. <br />I had to forgo a tempting show <br />For its exorbitant cost. <br />I had to forgo a favourite concert <br />For its inconvenient site. <br />Don’t think that I have no heart <br />For I don’t get to you, men. <br />09.11.2004<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-woman-s-predicament/
