Having matters* <br /> <br />I felt poor in not reading <br />For want of books. <br />I felt rich, though not reading, <br />With books in hand. <br />I felt poor in not spending <br />For want of cash. <br />I felt rich, though not spending, <br />With cash in hand. <br />Having, not using, that matters. <br />26.09.2007 <br /> <br />I felt poor in not reading <br />For want of books. <br />I felt rich, though not reading, <br />With books in hand. <br />I felt poor in not spending <br />For want of cash. <br />I felt rich, though not spending, <br />With cash in hand. <br />Having, not using, that matters. <br />26.09.2007<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/having-matters/
