The Tale Of How C Got Its Curve Poem by Raj Arumugam

The Tale Of How C Got Its Curve



1

C, as you know
and any child can very well see,
has a curved back
like all humans
trapped night and day
at the computers
and various e-devices


But C was not always so deformed
Once C, on all sides of the sea,
was as straight as an arrow
so that it looked exactly
as the lower case l


Then C slowly got the habit
of slouching, and over the years
inevitably
it developed a bow-back
and became curved like an old rag -
and that's the C we see today,
yes, on all sides of the sea




2

When this calamity happened to C
lower case l was asked:
"Have you heard
C has developed
an un-straightainable back? "

"Serves C right, " said lower case l
swiftly and quite gleefully
"And about time too -
for now everyone can clearly
see me for l
and the crooked back for C"




3

The moral then
we can extrapolate
from this tale of letters
is you got to sit up straight
and take care of that spine
or you'll end up like C
or, worse, you'll get a D -
depending which way your back bends
