6. At the Zoo
Little Sania went to the zoo,
With all her friends and her teacher too.
This image is copyrighted So many animals saw she there,
All in cages kept they were.
Monkeys, zebras, bears and deer,
Prancing, playing all so near!
She laughed and clapped so much with glee,
Watching the antics of the chimpanzee.
The lions, not the tigers scared her more,
As one yawned and gave a loud roar!

7. My Pet Perry
My pet Perry is a little white pup,
Black button eyes, wet nose turned up.
Shiny, white coat as soft as silk,
Looks so funny while he laps up his milk.
With his long, pink tongue he wipes my face,
While in the morning I tie my shoelace.
His bobbing, fluffy tail always leads me around,
Lost books, socks or pencils are quickly found.

8. When the Rains Come
Black clouds roll in and cover the sky,
Thunderclaps are heard on high.
A light breeze blows, rustling the leaves,
Curtains billow like the sails of a ship.
This image is copyrighted
Sitting by the window, I love to feel,
Wet air on my face -- cool cucumber peel.
The scent of the grass and the earth so brown,
As the first fat drops come pattering down.

9. Barefoot Baby
Barefoot baby, petal-pink feet,
Small plump hands with fingers so neat.
This image is copyrighted
‘Tiny tot’ she’s called by all,
Can barely walk by holding the wall.
Has no teeth, but her smile is so warm,
All of us hug her for such is her charm.
Gurgling and cooing is what she does,

10. The Moon’s Song
Do you know, little children, what makes me so fair?
It’s because the sunlight kisses my hair!
When it is night and the stars come out,
I too am awake and moving about.
This image is copyrighted
I sail among clouds in the dark night sky,
Spreading milk-white beams …..

11. The Rainbow
When the rains have gone and the sky clears,
As if by magic the rainbow appears!
Where does it begin and where does it end?
Over the whole world this bow does bend!
Where should I look for that pot of gold?
Which is hidden at its end, so I am told.
This image is copyrighted Such red and yellow, green and blue!
How forms this wonder? ……

12. The Dream Swing
O! such thrill to be on a swing!
Up towards the clouds I wing.
Swift as a bird, light as a feather,
Three best friends pushing together.
My eyes two streams, my hair a cloud,
Tears of fear? No! I am laughing aloud.
Stamping of feet and waving of hands,
…………………………………
Over their heads I soar in the sky,
I feel as if I am a butterfly!

I wish he would give me……

13. The Nymph in the Pond
Grandma says there’s a nymph in the pond,
On full moon nights she takes to firm ground.
She’s all silver with a diamond tiara,
…………………………………
I love grandma’s stories they’re so, so grand,
Listening to her words, my hairs stand on end.
I have my own doubts on the nymph in the pond,
Why nobody else has seen her around.
This image is copyrighted
One full moon night I grabbed her hand,
‘Grandma, we are going ………

14. The Early Riser
Chirruping of birds, dancing butterflies,
A soft cool breeze as the sun is yet to rise.
The milkman’s bell sounds clear and loud,
This image is copyrighted
The broom of the worker on the street is heard.
Flowers are so fresh, still bathed in dew,
Visited by birds and bees not a few.

15. Dream Story
Mother, mother, tell me a story,
And when I fall asleep,
I’ll dream of gardens and flowers and fairies,
Of bunnies that …….,
Of magic doors that open suddenly,
This image is copyrighted
And quick as a flash I enter,
Only to drop down hidden stairways,
Feeling no pain, only wonder!
The greenest trees, the sweetest flowers,
Laughing streams meander,

16. The Balloon Seller
Moving through the crowded fair ground,
The balloon man is making his round.
Finger in mouth the boy stops to wonder
At the rainbow cloud with a man standing under.
With practiced ease the man seems to make--
A monkey, a bunny, a duck or a snake.
Brown hands work their balloon magic,

Big balloon rattle on a slender stick?
Whistle with a long, pink tongue?

Flying apple balloon?

17. THUNDER
Thunder, thunder, how I wonder
Where your drums are hidden away!
If this night were not so dark
And lightning flashes not so fleeting,
While windowpanes rattle in our homes,
This image is copyrighted
I would have played Sherlock Holmes!
………………………………………….
Why always choose these cloudy nights?
You can hardly see to play it right.
With lightning flashes your only lamp,
It must be dark in your cloudy camp.

18. ’
Hide and Seek
When merry little children are out in the open,
Among trees and bushes, rocks and bracken,
To fun filled games their hearts awake,
And soon it’s time for hide and seek.
With yells and shouts, shrill cries of joy,
‘Who shall be the seeker?’ A girl or a boy?
Amid excited chatter they huddle for the chant,
To decide the one who’ll begin the count.
Meera leads them to the old jamun tree,
‘This is the trunk where the den shall be.’
…………………………………………………
And alert as a cat her search has begun.
Movement in the bushes,
This image is copyrighted The snapping of twigs
She is quick to spy two eyes that peek,
And off she sprints, the victim to seek.
Fleet of foot is little Sushil,
Behind a rock where he’d kept so still.
Off he bounds to the old jamun tree,
Den, den, den! He cries with glee.
……………………………………………..
She hides her face against the old jamun tree,
Begins counting again: ‘one, two, three …
