I'm always blamed to be one who has zero sense of humour. So, to make me humorous, a friend of mine, gave me a nonsense topic to write some 15 lines about it, a nonsense verse, without using words starting with letters M, T, R. But like You know....I take nonsense seriously too :P
So, here it is Ladies and Gentlemen: Trum pa Pum pa Trum pa pum pa trum pa pum pa pum!!!
King Tut's Beard!!!!!
King Tut's beard was infested with lice.
But, he wouldn't hear anyone's advice.
He found it fashionable,
and had heard in a fable,
he who wears lice, never ever dies.
His queen, born of a French and a Swiss.
Ended up aghast after every kiss.
His kids kept away,
His courtiers wouldn't stay,
But he never perceived anything was amiss.
At ceremonies kingly, His beard He scratched.
His neighbouring kings always found him wretched.
Lice infesting further his hair,
dropping from his beard everywhere,
and in all hatcheries, only lice eggs hatched.
A powerful king *Strut* visited his state.
Disappointed when he anticipated the state's fate.
He swore an oath,
ensuring people's growth.
And waged a war against Tut's state.
Tut and Strut stood face to face,
Strut with a sword, unsheathing it with grace.
Tut didn't bother,
Not once did he smother.
Calm and cool, He just scratched His face.
Swarms and swarms of His beard's lice.
Held Strut's army like iron in the vice.
With faces whitened,
the enemy was frightened
never had they seen such a strategic device.
Hen in an iron grip by Tut's beard's lice.
With his life, Strut had to pay the price.
Nobody could ever defeat Tut,
None could once unseat Tut,
All because King tut's bear was infested with lice.
Trum pa Pum pa Trum pa pum pa trum pa pum pa pum!!!
