Madam Mary Poem by Sasikala Kamandula

“Madam Mary, answer me, now, ” The boy yelled
“Why c-u-t sounds /c^t/ but not /cut/ When p-u-t is /put/?
It’s b‘cause of the way they sound in the mouth, ”
The Madam smiled at the curious kid.

“Madam Mary, tell me, then, ”
Demanded the playful lad in a swollen vain,
“The government aids to the poor village chaps,
Why same spelling and same sound craze
To mislead the tiny minds of children likewise? ! ”
“Depending on the context they work on, ”
The Madam is modest at the subtle huge grin.

“Well, it is heard from the Men of Science
That the world will end up in the coming 12 years;
Then how about my dad’s policy of twenty years? ”
The naughty tot showed off his quick wit pages;
“Damn with the end up of the world in the years
But I’ll end you up at the very instant view
If you don't end your prattle, yea it’s true! ”
