You asked
Remove your shirt
I showed
Twenty four ribs
Didnot match yours
You asked
Raise your hands
Raised my hands
And touched the sky
Didnot resemble yours
You asked
Open your mouth
I opened
The roaring conch-shell
Unlike yours
Everything would have matched
Had I been,like you
Stout
Humpbacked
Dumb
