I
A bundle of sticks
A bundle of brooms, both dried
Battled each other
II
They were to compete
Both showing togetherness
By never breaking
III
Sticks laughed very hard
At their small competitors
Brooms looked but said naught
IV
Muscles were called in
They picked the bundle of brooms
They couldn’t break them
V
Sticks just laughed and laughed.
They picked the bundle of sticks
They broke easily
VI
The audience were awed
They placed all their bets on sticks
What disappointment!
VII
Brooms jubilated
They are small but strong in bundle
They showed the audience
