CHILDHOOD DAYS

                                                            I try to count drops of rain
                                                      The number of coaches of pasing train;
                                                    I jump to catch the many coloured rainbow
                                                  Tread on feather- like flakes of fresh fallen snow
                                                    I dance with swaying sunflowers in the farm
                                                 I am safe in the warmth of my grandfather’s arm;
                                                      Oh! When I look back at good old days
                                                       I long for return of my childhood days




                                                                     Machine

                                                      I like the flying machine
                                                         Lifted into the sky
                                                    By the wind under the wings
                                                 And I fly over the clouds, so high!
                                                   I remember it is time for schol
                                                      And I must wear uniform
                                              I hear the washing machine calling mom
                                                Its whistles announce clothes are dry!
                                                     So it is time for breakfast;
                                                  The cooker the kitchen machine
                                                          Sings and tweets
                                                Breakfast is ready and I must hurry!


                                                           All about a Noodle

                                                    Bread butter jam or poridge
                                            Are common favourites on breakfast table
                                                   The morning light grows brighter
                                            With arrival of each item in that order;
                                                   But there is one more dish
                                            About whose origin to know I wish
                                                   The tongue is puzzled where to begin
                                            From limpid loops of the lovely delicacy;
                                                   But enough of this dilemma:
                                            For it is my noodle that takes the cake!
