1 <br /> <br />Better befriend a barking dog <br />Than be friends with a Tamil, <br />Crocodile's mouth is safer <br />Than thorntree shade. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Forcefruit green mango by squeezing; <br />Profit from peddling your wars by foot; <br />Pain eyes from crying for the dead <br />Are all in vain. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />A town without fellowship; <br />A house without children; <br />A merchant without records; <br />Walkways to woe. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Donkey is not for riding; <br />Whore is not for heirs; <br />Think Before you Jump <br />Naked into the lake. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />A meal without salt; <br />Wife without breasts; <br />Chewing the tip of a sugarcane; <br />Are all insipid.<br /><br />Sarvajna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/better-befriend-a-barking-dog/
