This “Little Ones” episode
is about the Burmese poetry form ‘Thanbauk’.
It consists of three lines of four syllables each.
Traditionally, they are full of humour.
It also has a rhyme in it.
The rhyme is on the fourth syllable of the first line,
the third syllable of the second,
and on the second syllable of the third.
