Grandma always said that drumstick leaves,
were good for health as they contain a lot of iron
One day dad unexpectedly bought a drum,
with sticks to play with
So, I took the drumsticks and covered them with basil leaves,
and ate them after a while, I felt as usual
So, I told grandma, even though I ate basil leaves,
on drumsticks, I don’t feel any stronger
Needless to say she laughed ate me and told me
you get drumstick leaves from trees, not by putting basil leaves on a drumstick
So, I put back the drumsticks  in their places,
and started laughing for my misunderstanding.
