Most sought after is the cow's milk
Even though found in small quantity
Who cares for donkey's milk
Even though it is bucket full!
Look alike both salt and camphor
Taste different when tested on tongue
Virtuous men stand apart from rest
Even though all pretend alike
Possible to extract oil by squeezing sand
Possible to drink water from Optical illusions
Possible to find the horn on rabbit
Impossible to enlighten the mind of fools
A wicked flaunts power of money
A virtuous treats with words of wisdom
Gold even though precious
Can never give the sound like brass
