light the candle

When I was robbed

When I was robbed,

I picked up the telephone

And complained to the police

In a very angry tone.

The very next day

The police caught the felon.

I thought the only place

Meant for him is prison.

He was called to the court

And I was delighted.

But things did not go

As I had expected

That wicked robber

Was granted bail

When I thought

He was going to jail!!!

Said the Table to the Bear

Said the Table to the Bear,

I hope you are aware

Every day I get very bored

Oh! I wish I could walk on the road.

Oh! But my dear Table,

On you always there’s an Aesop’s Fable

Why don’t you read it all day?

From Sunday to Saturday.

Oh well Bear! I have read

How many times! That’s hundred!

Bored I get every day!

Give me a solution,

I’ll do as you say.

If you get bored every day,

Together we can play,

Then you will be happy

Oh Table! You will smile with glee.

Well Bear, what can we play?

I stay hear all day!

I hope you know, I can’t run

So, playing with me will not be fun!

Well Table, Aren’t you brainy!

Why can’t we play Anthakshari?

Then the Table never complained

And Anthakshari they always played.

You are my Lovely Dad!

You always make me happy

You never make me sad

And that is all because

You are my lovely Dad!

Oh! Can you remember

The happy moments we have shared

And that is all because

You are my lovely Dad!

I love all your jokes

They always make me glad

And that is all because

You are my lovely Dad!

You are my lovely Dad! (3)

If I were a Kite

If I were a Kite
I would sore to great heights
Even if I touch the sky
I will still continue my flight

I will meet all the birds
And tell them Hi
But still I will continue
to go high and high

Everyone will admire
My beautiful tail
And here I am
in the sky, I sail

I will fly
near the Sun
And while I fly
I would have, lot of fun.

When we went to Goa

When we went to Goa
We collected many shells
We collected so many shells
That it is more than we can tell!

In the beaches we played
I felt very happy
Whenever a wave came
I would shout Yippee!

We went to the churches
And walked in the Sun
Seeing the idols
Was lot of fun

I enjoyed the seafood
Especially the squid
And, in the ice cream shop
You know what we did!!!

Sunday Joke

I have got a cold

It was cold outside

So, I got a cold

To sing, I tried

But my voice was sore

In my house,

We were playing hide and seek

But when I sneezed

They found me!

All 24 hours

In my room

The place where I spent

Was the bathroom

I have to stay in bed

Could you help me please?

If you have a way to cure me

Please help me!

Care your needs

 Oh! look there!

There is a seed!

Let’s take care of it

and give it what it needs

After some days,

I saw a sprout

With the joy I had,

You could hear me shout!

After some more days

I see more leaves!

And all this happened

Because I gave it it’s need!

Think Twice

Once upon a time,

there was a mouse

who lived in a small

and beautiful house

He goes to find food

and sees some cheese

With lots of excitement,

he jumps and leaps

With happiness on his face,

he tries to clap

But oh no!

He is stuck on a trap!

He moves and struggles,

with lot of fright

But trap won’t let him,

It will hold him tight

And, now he knows

That he should think twice

But now, already

He has paid his price!!!

I am an Eagle

I am an eagle
I fly so high

I fly so high that
It looks like
I touched the sky!

I have a beak
And very powerful eyes

My eyes are so powerful
That i can see a rabbit
From 2 miles high

I have big wings
And i can glide
I stretch my wings
And i fly with pride!!!

Flowers

Look at the flowers
Aren't they amazing to see
All the shapes and colours
On bushes and trees

Most of the bugs
Take nectar from flowers
which are food for them
And give lots of power

All the shapes and colours
Which make them wonderful
You can see them everywhere
Don't you love them too!

Thief

Oh I wonder
why there are thieves!
They come to your home to steal

When we hear them with our ears
We glance with fear

He is content
There he went

Oh! How cruel is he!
Oh! Poor me!

Who should i blame?
Without knowing his name!
