School Chalein Hum

A tree was there beside an old house

A hungry Pusy cat was in search of some mouse

She sat on the wall and peeped below

All of a sudden, someone greeted her Hello

It was Peter parrot who perched on tree top

He wondered what made Pusy wander and hop

Pusy narrated her woe; “None bothers mice getting extinct, makes me low”

Peter pranked; “Mice shifted to their ancestral home in the well below”

Pusy at once looked at the well and used her wit

“Neither am I a foolish lion, nor you a smart rabbit

In my childhood, I regularly attended school

So I am not the one who can be fooled”

Peter had no option

But to fly with hung face, to restore lost grace.

Author notes

This poem has come after a long span. Infact it came as holidays home work of a class 10 student in neighborhood. He was provided 5 words by his teacher on which he had to write;house, cat, wall, tree, parrot. Thanks to him that I am back to writing again. Gaining the lost touch. And it marvels me too, how it turned out to be on Education for all Program and how strengthened can a female (cat) be against pranksters with the aid of education. Hope you enjoy it. And special thanks flow to poet Nirmal who was with me in tough times and constantly encouraged me not to forget this art. He is my best critique and I expect same from him ever and after.

Please tell me what you think

    This is the best one I've read it from you so far... brilliantly written.... I loved it..

    if you can reduce the length of these two lines to match the meter of the rest of the poem, it will be even better... but it is fine as it is...
