A roof that leaks,
a wife who gossips,
a neighbor who
peeps,
a pet that bites,
they cause endless
grief.
A curious servant,
a nymphomaniac
wife,
a lazy brother,
a spendthrift son,
get rid of them.
Two wives at home,
a secretary who
flirts,
a boss who grins,
a friend who
flatters,
you will die soon.
Walk after dinner,
pay your loans,
remember some
birthdays,
crush your enemies,
you will live long.
