Default With Rhyme and Reason

A month back, my husband's cousin who is undergoing Montessori Training sought help from me. She wanted me to write two rhymes... the kinds little kids are taught in school. IT had to be original and very creative.
"Bhabhi, I can not think of anyone else to help me out," she said.

Vanity, thy name is Bhabhi!

I had to agree. It was sheer torture. I have torn off dozens of sheets of paper in frustration. Finally I did two. Am sharing with my friends, since she might have finished her project and submitted her work. It sounds corny, even to my own ears, so I can understand if you wince as you read this!

Little Sparrow on the Wall


Little sparrow on the wall,
Can you hear your babies call?
Look for crumbs, quick, peck at worm,
Let it wiggle, hold it firm.

In the nest they tweet and squeak,
Are they hungry, small and weak?
Mama’s gone out hunting food,
For her hungry little brood.

Little sparrow on the wall,
Your hungry babies loudly call,
Take your mouthful to your nest,
Feed your babies, then you can rest.


Squeaky Squirrel on the Tree

Squeaky squirrel on the tree,
Will you come and play with me?
You can race me up the yew,
Down its trunk, I’ll chase you.


You can hide and I can seek,
I’ll close my eyes, try not to peek.
We can jump and skip and hop,
From branch to branch we can drop.

Let us look for nuts and fruits,
Yummy tubers from the roots,
When Winter spreads its snow-white sheet,
We can have a hearty treat.


Sigh! I am no professional, I can see... Blogging about things that concern me is my cup of tea... Not Versifying or writing rhymes!

HI twinsmom,

very cute rhymes and you have done a pretty good job as well. The rhyming is excellent. Keep writing, there is a poet in you.

Hi Sheeba,

I am actually not very comfortable with poetry and rhymes... For me prose is easier... and I can write on and on and on...

You are from Dubai? I used to be in sharjah till recently. My FIL died and I had to relocate to take care of my MIL and FIL's 84 year old sister in interior Karnataka.

Hi Asma,
You are also from Dubai... My my! what a coincidence! I know that you Dubai ladies got together a couple of times... Each time, I had some other commitment or came to know of it afterwards... Where in Dubai are you?

Dear Twinsmom / Bhabhi !

Well...sorry to disappoint you here that I am not from Dubai !!!
Honestly, your attempt is fabulous with rhyming words.
You have it in you........dont give up. You might be able to come
up with a book of rhymes for kids. Should give it a go. I feel Madurai,
Chennai and Gulf are the hubs of talent in IL !

I hope you are keeping up with your walks around the park singing
old Raj Kapoor's numbers or is it Lalitha Sahasranamam !!!?

Take Care.

Hi Twinsmom,
Those are sure good ones for the kids! If we can even now enjoy the nursery rhymes of yore, why not this too?
Love,
Malathi
