Tricky Boy
Whenever power fails hassling loud
Back house boy little just five years old
They have no inverter
To use the chance better
Comes to our house to study as told
His tricky mind frisky else way thinks
Not to read but to laze he outthinks
I do know his feigning
Inverter then failing
I see that no way power re-links
