(This is based on the posting of  Hamsabai  Santhana  Krishnan. My thanks to her   The groom is  nearing thirty , anxious  to get married  but not getting suitable bride decides to consult  an elder . This is the result.)

One very elegible   , handsome   groom    wanting to find out,

What type  of girl  he has    to  search to  be his partner,

Some one suggested  him  r to consult  a  well known and great pundit,

That pundit  gave a   seat to the  groom  , gave him  coffee  he has prepared and told,

“Do not choose   a pretty girl , as other people  may start loving her,

Do not   choose  a very ugly girl, as you may start hating   her,

Do  not search  for a tall girl as  you would be forced to look  up to her,

Do not search  for a dwarf girl , as   you would be forced  to look down on her,

Do not search for a very fat girl as id sge dashes against you , you will fall down,

Do not search for a  thin girl,  as possibly she may not be visible to you,

Do not search   for a white girl , for she will remind you of a candle,

Do not search for a black girl, for  in darkness  she may not be visible to you,

Do not search for a uneducated girl, for she would not understand  what you say,

Do not  search  for a well educated girl, she will argue   with you   always,

Do not marry a rich girl, as she will tell you are   spending  her money,

Do not marry a poor girl, for   after your death , no one will support her ,

Do not search for a girl  who loves a lot , for after  your death, she will love another,

Do not marry a short   tempered girl, your life would become hell,

Do not marry an  all knowing one, she  will  waste all your moey,

Do not marry a girl who does not know anything ,she will make you her servant,

Do not marry a peaceful girl, she would be peaceful , even you die,

Do not marry a girl who creates great noise, for every insect,, she would assemble the entire  village ,

Do not marry a girl of  your own town, as she  will always be in her mother’s house,

Do not marry a girl from a far off place  , as your entire life would be spent in journey,”

The young man saluted that  wise man and told, “Now I know why you are  not married.”
