"me me"

[Ravisankar S. Mayavaram]

kaantaa ime me tanayaa ime me
gR^ihaa ime me pashavastvime me |
evaM naro meshha samaana ruupaH
me me kR^itaH kaala vR^ikeNa niitaH |

This wife is mine, these children are mine, this house is mine,
and these cattle are mine, like this a man keeps on repeating "me
me" (pronounced like May, in Sanskrit it means mine) like a goat.
Hearing this "me me", comes the wolf kaala ( death)
 to snatch away his life.
