They called him a hero 'cause of his looks at School.
His uniform was outstanding, his glossy puffed hair, a drool.
His meticulous outlook is breathtaking and rich, we presume.
The other side of the coin told a different story to fume.
He boasted of passing the examination, but it was not so.
Copied from his school chum, all subjects confidence grew
His head in the air, awaiting results, girl's head over heals, swoon.
I'll be top of the class, just await results, They will carry a broom
His parents gave ear to his bellow, doubting fact. He counted chickens before they hatched,
The day of results witnessed crowds at the Notice Board
His name is not there, even his chum's, 'copied' on attached Note
Disgrace on his face, his father, a rich man kicked the bucket.
His mother fainted, son's Report Card slipped plumaged
His School Transfer on the anvil, too ashamed to show his face.
Mother said 'This is God's will'. In a new school mend your ways.
Pride befalleth a man, discard your egoism, show a new profile.
He crew-cut his hair simple school uniform.
Weekly, Rs.nine.
From youth to adulthood, but stored up his pocket money as, a slight miser.
Passed his BsC and got a job advised by his lady friend 'prepare our future
His widowed mother got along with her parents and daughter-in-law...
They stashed up the money to prepare for the best, A 'glow' they saw
A baby girl was born with happiness all parents lit agarbattis
Thanked God, but fate took its stride so suddenly.
His mum's passing brought grief to his wife's parents quite cashless.
His wife claimed his Accounts building up be perseverant, so why press.
The Bank Manager of his late mother called him by phone A Will awaiting.
He trudged to the Bank to collect his Will, and was astounded heart beating.
Ran to his beloved and showed her the Will, both cried with rapture.
The Will said ' We had stored up a precious amount for your future

Meaning: Be honest, work hard, future will be prosperous'
