Cost of the Cat Date: Wednesday, 2nd August 2006 @ 07:41:57 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: girish The helpless woman appealed to the divine If I get a child, I give you my hairs anytime To commit to her words, she was uncertain She gave few hairs that touched the spine The wealthy businessman came by a ship Violent storms made the travel a hardship ‘I will donate the poor’, was his worship To donate, I sell my house, he told in a sip The ship sailed safely coming to the shore His thoughts perplexed even to sell his door His house will really worth more than a crore But announced to sell his house in a roar Fixed the price of his house as one rupee All had come to buy the house in a spree His condition was to buy his cat not for free Fixed the price of his cat, hard to agree Selling his house and cat, he donated 1 rupee Committing to his words, he thought he is free Ask from the lord, not all that you see If you have given the layman, give it to me.
