Thinking about the poem

āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোā§° āĻ•āĻĨা āϚিāύ্āϤা āϕ⧰ি

1. Does 'dyin' really rhyme with 'lion'? Can yo say it in such a way that it does? 

ā§§/ 'āĻĄাāχāύ' āϏঁāϚাāĻ•ৈāϝ়ে 'āϏিংāĻš'ā§° āϞāĻ—āϤ āĻ›āύ্āĻĻ āĻŽিāϞাāχāĻ›ে āύেāĻ•ি? āĻāύেāĻ•ৈ āĻ•’āĻŦ āĻĒাā§°িāĻŦāύে āϝে āĻ•’āĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ি?

Ans.

2. How does the poet suggest that you identify the lion and the tiger? When can you do so, according to him?

3. Do you think the words 'lept' and 'lep' in the third stanza are spelt correctly? Why does the poet spell them like this?

Ans.

4. Do you know what a 'bearhug' is? It's a friendly and strong hug- such as bears are thought to give, as they attack you! Again, hyenas are thought to laugh and crocodiles to weep ('crocodile tears') as they swallow their victims. Are there similar expressions and popular ideas about wild animals in your own language(s)?

5. Look at the line "A novice might monplus". How would you Write this correctly'? Why is the poet's 'incorrect' line batter in the poem?

6. Can you find other examples of poets taking liberties with language, either in English or in your own languages(s)? Can you find examples of humorous poems in your own languages(s)?

Ans.

7. Much of the humour in the poem arises from the way languages is used, although the ideas are funny as well. If there are particular lines in the poem that you especially like, share these with the class, speaking briefly about what it is about the ideas or the languages that you like or find funny.
