Money has many names

 

Hey Money,

(borrowed (not money) from post of my friend, my  co villager  Sri Ramaswami Venkateswaran)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander




How many  names have you got?

 

In temple  it is called “offering”

In school  it is “fees”

In marriage  it  is “dowry”

In divorce  it is “Alimony”

In accidents it is “compensations”

If given to poor it is “charity”

If it is returnable  it is “loan”

To orphanages  it is “donation”

In court  it is “fine”

If taken by  government  it is “tax”

If we do  white coloured work  it is “salary”

After  retirement   it is “Pension”

To the  labourer  it is “wage”

If we pay to get  things done quickly , it is “Bribe”

If  sportsmen get it , it is “prize”

If merchant  gets it is  “price”

If children get it , it is  “gift”

   There  is nothing else  as important as you  , with so many names  , who is the cause of so many  problems and confusions!
