​Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
My Jumbo Shot its way Across the sky To distant lands Across blue seas I descended the ladder To a waiting ribbon Of blood-red carpet A quick glance at my Three piece suit and the tie That beautifully strangled my neck. On my left hand hang My beaded knob kerry On my right I clutched My rusty inter- nation Begging Bowl On my face I wore humility and need And of course dignity. Sir, the dearth of food Had rendered my people thin And hungry Scoop us a little You know Just little To keep them till next rains. But Sir, beggars In three piece Are a rare sight But your suit is beautiful Honestly. Now my suit Which cost me a fortune In a Parisian Texture Has denied me a fortune And my countrymen, life. By.
