First few words of tamil which i have learnt - in poetic form

I went to a tamilians' shop and
vanakkam to the owner i said,
and vanakkam in return to me he wished.
then handing him a note of 20 rupees,
one plate masaala dosa i said.

Then he asked You want it to be parcled?
illa illa here only i replied.
said seiri sieiri to me and to his cooks
"one masaala dosa" be quick he ordered.

And the cooks who were both borthers,
started a furry of activities
as soon the owners order they read.
The elder one said to the younger,
tambi you light up the gas,
ok anna i will do it the younger one said.
Then they further kept on working,
and talking in tamil,none of which i understood.

But in couple of minutes dosa was at my table,
which i finished in a minute, so much i relished.
and while walking out of shop i was thinking that,
it would have been good if in the school itself
had i learnt tamil also when i was a kid.
