Even as modern poetry, it would be pretty feeble.

well it could be one of those scrambled sentences where you have to put it back together

Here's my stab:

The manager hates the boy who loves the girl who's tired.

What's 'megister'

What's 'megister'
In some languages 'magister' is an equivalent of the Master's degree. I think that's what the original poster meant.

I would say, the tired manager hates the boy, and the girl
and I personaly do think that, the persone who wrote it just turn it over so it could difficult.
