The First And The Last Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The First And The Last

Rating: 4.8


Let the head and the feet be clean.
Let the beginning and the end be good.
Let the meeting and parting be nice.
In between what is there is discounted.
You read a word, eyeing the first and the last letter
And not every letter in the word.
‘Tihs is bcauseae the huamn mnid
deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef’
Clever men fool others like that.
