TWINS WE ARE

TWINS WE ARE

Vikram is my brother,
Annika is my sister.
Our birthday falls on 20th December!
We are Best Friends Forever! Yes, Twins we are!

We sing and dance, We play and prance
Annika is the artist, a budding painter!
She loves her ballet, a charming dancer.
Vikram loves his math, infinity his favorite number
He also strums the guitar, and wants to be a singer!
Yes, twins we are!

We pinch and punch, and box and bump!
We scream and shout, and shriek and thump!
Then it’s one corner for me
And the other for me!
Yes, twins we are!

Sorry mama, sorry dada!
A Good boy am I
A Good girl am I;
Just a little naughty we are! Yes, Twins we are!

MY SPACESHIP

My grandpa's bullock-cart is always on the run
It jumps and bumps and can be great fun.
My papa's horse-cart carries all his veggies
It gallops to the market in less than a jiffy!
My uncle's car is a black beauty
We drive to the movies mighty happy.
My brother’s bus is a huge monster
The eñtire village can sit in and chatter.
My sister is a pilot, she flies an aeroplane
And zips around the world all in one day!
I'm going to be an astronaut; in my giant rocket
I shall travel the universe from planet to planet.

MY RED RACER

I had a little toy car
It was a red racer
Everytime I gave it a push
It zoomed like a laser.
All the boys in my class
Loved to take a turn
To push my red racer
Which shot like a laser!

A TOMATO AND A POTATO

I am a handsome tomato, Red and round,
My skin is silky shiny and soft all around.
I look lovely like a lantern, as I swing from my tree.

I am dusty and brown, and I grow underground
Hard as rock, I am solid as stone!
Don’t mess with me; said the macho potato!
If I gave you a whack, you’ll end up in a splash!

I WAS PLAYING BALL

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Moon!
But a little sparrow flying past
Came crashing into the ball, so I put him in a cast!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Stars!
But a mighty eagle swooped down on the ball
And sent it swishing down in free fall!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Clouds!
But a handsome peacock plucked it with his feathers
And the ball it tore in tatters!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Lightning!
But a big, black crow came hopping in its way
He took away my ball and started to play!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Rainbow!
And when the ball came down,
It had seven lovely colors, painted all around!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Thunder!
Which was a big blunder,
There was so loud a clap, made me run home in fear!

THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!

Peekaboo, Peekaboo, Where’s my shadoo?
There’s an Airpane in the skie & a Birdie too!
Can we bring home the Staars & Muun mama?
Hhie!! Howdoudo? Baby, Bikkit, Banana!
The eits have come on and Aka is busy
She loves her books and knows her ABC!
Biyaa’s busy too – vacumming the floor
He spots a book and runs out the door!
Grabbing Aka’s curls, Stealing her lovies;
Biyaa races away, she wiggles on her knees!
Bataatas flutter flutter, Crabs pinch pinch,
Bappa Jai-Jai, Dada Bi-Bie, Theeta Hi-Hi!
Haa-chi, Haa-chi the kitchen is soo inviting
Wakka wakka with Shobhna we sing!
Daadi-daadi when you join in refrain
T’is Music to my ears, my heart goes frail!
Dear Dennis the Menace & Li’l Princess
Watching over You is a Delight, no less!

ODE TO A TEENAGER!

OMG I am a Teen Now!
No watching over me now!
Mom, those days are gone.....
Hurrah! Now no Chaperone!
No more lectures, advice, counsel
You’re free of all the hassle!
Hey Pops, I hope you can tell
I’m a big girl now - Sure as hell!
Worry not-where I go Sunday
Chill dude! I can find my way!
My room, my time, my space, DND.
Enter at your peril, don’t fault me!
My ipad, my iphone, my friends, all I care!
Don’t spy, don’t pry, Don’t you dare!
Rules are passé, limits are off
I call the shots – don’t you scoff!
School’s cool, and I love my math
I’ll score the marks, tell you that!
No panic folks, a Good Girl am I!
Just a teenager am I!!
