Question

Read the given poem carefully and fill in each bank with a wond in
AT THE THEATRE
(To the lady behind me)
Dear Madam, you have seen this play
I never w
ody
You know the details of the plot
But let me tell you, I do not
The author seeks to keep from me
The murderer's identity,
And you are 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 niece,
In short, 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?
