(EP) 10. Giggees

-TSS Murty

I feel pinched,
When my abilities are treated as gibilities
When my inabilities are treated as ginebilities.
I feel pinched,
When my skills are treated as gills
When My falls is treated as geels.
I feel pinched,
When my activity is treated as geektivity
When my laxity is treated as geeksity.
I feel pinched,
When my smartness is treated as geetness
When all my clumsiness is treated as gimsiness.
I feel pinched,
When my reverence is treated as givarence
When my indifference is treated as gindifference.
I feel pinched very badly,
When my love is treated as “give”
And my row is also treated as “give”

Note: In most areas in India, people use expressions like “pen, ven”, box, vox”, etc. Similarly, in Telugu (referred to as the Italian of the East), there is an expression called “Giggeelu (గిగ్గీలు)”. Here, instead of /va/ sound in Hindi, for instance, we use the sounds /gi/ and /gi:/. This short poem is an effort to highlight the use of Giggeelu.
