Beverage For Leverage

The by-far dull child at orphanage,
After placement on beverage,
Mathematics above average:
A sixty-nine percent anchorage?

Other kids could only vilely rage;
The most envious began fast to age

The once-empty thing at orphanage
Could thrice try syllabus coverage,
Teachers wasting words; he could manage,
No need to be under tutelage...

Means beverage gives one leverage
Kids' craving for it to encourage
Teenagers: Beverage leverage,
To them cash for purchasing courage

Dad and Mum willy nilly savage,
If their fine kids can't reach beverage.

A thing to cry over like carnage!

Whether savage, beverage, an orphanage, or anchorage. I love this repetition: age-age-age. Thanks, Chinedum.
