Fit to be a great civil servant

The professor was bent upon,

to test IQ of his postgraduates

“Get up you nifty guy,

answer my query straight

ten birds sat on d' branch of a tree,

u shot one, how many are left?”

D’ boy asked,

"Was it a silent pistol,

or a gun without a sound?"

Not extraordinary, a usual one,

had d’ gunshots fired quite loud

"How loud were d’ gunshots,

80 or 100 decibels?"

"It’ll be pertinent to say,

can make one’s earache"

"Not illegal to shoot birds in this city?"

"No, won’t break d' law, 
for God’s sake"

"Are you sure,

d’ bird truly got killed?

if it’s yes, how did you verify that?"

“I’m sure”, d’ professor got impatient,

"You just tell me,

how many were left?"

"Any deaf one in d’ birds?

any bird had a mental ailment,

or a stupid one didn’t know to fly away,

when d’ loud gunshot went"

Professor got extremely irritated,

“Nothing so, 
all had an IQ > 200”,

“Anyone of them kept in cages?"

or another tree present on d' ground,

in d’ venue, with some birds on it,

"How about…ten miles around,

in that locality?

to disturb other birds with d’ sound

any disabled or hungry birds that can't fly?"

"No, all healthy,

their body in great shape

You’ve so many queries, don’t know why?”

"Pregnant birds counted as two or one?"

"All males, pregnancy can’t happen"

"Birds were ten in number,
how he was sure,

had no dim eyesight or blurred vision?

was d’ shooter’s dress dazzling?

to briefly cause d’ birds a blinding effect"

"Don’t  derail d’ topic, come straight,

d’ eyesight all of them utterly perfect"

Sweat drops started to appear

on the forehead of d’ Professor

the student kept on asking,

even if d' college bell rang,

and d’ class was over

"Was there any bird too stupid,

least scared of death?"

"No, like any other living creature,

death is terrifying, each one believeth"

“Did anyone choose to stay back,

ready to die as its lover was shot?"

"I’ve told you, they were all males!

don’t behave like an idiot"

"And their sexual orientation,

homosexuality not to consider?"

"Ok? their sexual orientation is hetero!"

"To an ornithologist, u need not refer?"

"Will he kill two birds with one shot,

maybe three, four or five in unison?"

"Absolutely not! only one got killed

with d’ single shot he fired at random"

"Did d’ bullet knock out d’ tree instead?

if no tree, no birds are expected there"

"No, it was not that powerful

just an ordinary pistol"

"Well, are all the birds free to fly?"

"Absolutely yes,
you are my postgraduate,
but it seems, u behave like my boss"

"As a panic reaction, 

they did not bump into each other,

while attempting to fly?"

"No, a satellite navigation system helped,

so an auto take-off they could try"

d’ professor lost patience, shouted,

"well u can’t deceive me with your reply"

"If d’ dead bird hang on to d’ tree,

does not fall from it, one will be left

if it falls, evidently none will be there",

the student replied with confidence

Professor was on the verge of fainting,

tried to resist his feeling before students

lastly murmured in a trembling voice,

“you’re fit to be a great civil servant..."
