‘தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று – பல
சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி – மனம்
வாடித் துன்ப மிக உழன்று – பிறர்
வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து – நரை
கூடிக் கிழப்பருவ மெய்தி – கொடுங்
கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும் – பல
வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே – நான்
வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ?
– மகாகவி சுப்பிரமணிய பாரதியார்

Arab in Yankee land
Mohammad, a child of Arab parents was enrolled in a school in New York. On the first day, his teacher asked: "What is your name?"
The boy replied, "Mohammad". From now on your name is Johny as you are in America," she said. In the evening, when he came back, his mother asked, "How was your day Mohammad?" He said, "My name is not Mohammad. I'm in America and my name is Johny."
His mother slapped him and said angrily: "Aren't you ashamed of trying to dishonour your parents, your heritage, your religion?" Then she called his father and he also slapped him.
The next day when the teacher saw him with his face red and asked what happened, Mohammad said, "Madam, four hours after I became American, I was attacked by two Arabs."

Bright ideas
What do you call a male ladybird?
When they say dog food is new and improved in taste, who tastes it?
If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff?
Can you cry under water?
Why doesn't glue stick to its bottle?
Why do you still call it a building when it is already built?
If you aren't supposed to drink and drive, why do bars have parking lots?
