Class 9 Sample Paper
I. AT THE THEATRE
(To the lady behind me)
Dear madam you have seen this play:
I never saw it till today
You know the details of the plot
But let me tell u I do not
The author seeks to keep from me
The murderer’s identity
And you’re not a friend of his
If you keep shouting who it is
The actors in their funny way
Have several funny things to say,
But they do not amuse me more
If you have said them just before
The merit of the drama lies
I understand, in some surprise;
But the surprise now must be small
Since you have just foretold all.
The lady you have brought with you
Is, I infer, a half wit, too.
But I can understand the piece
Without assistance from your neice.
In short foul woman it would suit
Me just as well if you were mute;
In fact to make my meaning plain,
I trust you will not speak again.
And may I add one human touch?
Don’t breathe upon my neck so much.
