Autobiography of a coin

I was a piece of metal,

dug deep underground.

Two busy workers found me,

in their factory I was cut round.

I fell asleep for a few hours,

and woke up in a dark place.

Then I was pulled out suddenly,

to see a chubby man's  face.

A lady smiled to see me,

and I was exchanged for a sweet without a word.

You would have known the lady was a shopkeeper,

but to me the whole event was totally absurd.

The lady put me in her pocket which had a rather big hole,

and I rapidly  rolled out.

I spun 2 times and landed in a gutter,

Yuck! I started to shout.

A gush of water came rushing through,

and the fast current lead me away.

I sighed and splashed and spluttered,

oh, when will be the end of this horrible day?

Oops!!! I didn't notice I landed on a dolphin,

Who leaped and I was away.

Where exactly had I landed?

On a warm, sunny, bay!

A boy picked me up,

and took me to his house.

There I saw stuff I never saw before,

a doll, a bangle, a mouse!

There, I saw a pink big thing,

it had a hole on top.

The boy pushed me through,

 and in I went - PLOP!

There were so many other coins,

they were so friendly I was shocked.

Suddenly I looked up,

the small hole was blocked.

Another coin told me,

" Don't worry, your new 'home' is found.

This is a 'piggy bank' meant for coins,

come, I will show you around.''

" My name is Olive."

The little coin said.

 Oh! We have to go now,

it's time for bed!

I stayed in the piggy bank for many months,

until one day disaster struck.

Olive and me were pulled out,

and were taken to an ice cream truck.

Me and Olive were put in a drawer,

and I bet you can't guess what happened next to me!

In the form of taxes, me and Olive were given,

to the president of America . . . . . Yippee!

I understood, that life is a game,

and you just have to learn to live with it.

You may soar high, up in the sky,

Or might end up in a muddy pit!

The autumn fairy

A red leaf,
a shimmer in  the sky.
Hey! Is that a bird or a butterfly?


From a twinkle to a fairy,
the little shimmer turns.
Looking at the ground,
  she is counting all the ferns.


It's the autumn fairy!
She has a paintbrush in her dainty hand.
There is a shower of orange and red,
and the dry, red leaves fill the land.


She waves her wand,
flies through the air.
Whispers 'goodbye'
and slowly disappears.


The autumn scene is outstanding,
better than before.
Thank you little fairy,
I couldn't ask for more.


I have alot of homework,
so I should really get back to my sum.
I hope to see the fairy again,
in this pleasant autumn.

Cute Ways

Cuddle a teddy,
wish it goodnight,
say a little lullaby,
sleep with it tight.

Let the angels,
take you to the stars,
chocolaty mars,
shimmering icebergs,
coral seas,
in this night,
there is just too much to see..

In the morning,
you wake up and find,
no gem-filled pathways,
no angel who is kind.
No tiny fairies,
with wands in their hands.
No time to explore,
faraway lands.

The freedom of dreams,
so vast, so free,
that is the world,
meant for me.

I wait for the night,
to enter the world,
which is in my dreams,
where magic unfolds...

Post

I see the postman!

He's coming this way!

I wonder what letters he has,

for me today!

The postman comes near,

and gives me a smile.

I smile back at him,

and he hands me a file.

I look at him confused.

I had nothing to say.

He told me to give it to my father,

without further delay.

Were there no letters?

No parcels for me?

While I stood thinking,

a red ant bit me.

I shouted in pain,

and fell to the ground.

The postman helped me up,

and from his pocket fell a pound.

He turned to leave,

but suddenly he stopped.

He noticed that the pound,

which was in his pocket had dropped.

He bent to pick it up,

and from his bag, a letter fell out.

The letter was for me!

I wanted to shout!

I picked it up and skipped away happily,

filled with glee.

Inside, a lucky catch,

a trip to France for free!

Ganesha

Ganesha, Ganesha, come to my home,

Its not in France, Delhi or Rome.

It is in little, pleasant Bangalore,

Where the Cauvery, your lake flows.

Ganesha, Ganesha will you be my friend,

not for fashion fame or trend.

We can play together all day long,

Or sing a happy, friendship song.

Ganesha , Ganesha, little lord,

everyone bows their head to this god,

You and the world are joint by a cord,

Ganesha, Ganesha little lord.

Mom's Day Off

It's mom's day off,
she really needs some rest.
The duties were handed to me,
and, well, I tried my best.

I cooked some biryani -
but it was a waste.
I had forgotten to add flavour,
so it had no taste..

There was some orange juice!
It was a blast!
Well, actually an explosion-
I squeezed the orange too fast.


The floor was pretty clean,
there wasn't a tiny bit of dust anywhere.
Except in the kitchen, my bedroom and all the bathrooms,
there was a little dirt somewhere here and there...


I folded the clothes,
by rolling them into balls.
When it was time to put them into the wardrobe,
I couldn't tell if they were my shirts or my mother's shawls.

I went to the market!
But, unknowingly stepped on a shawl.
Frightened, stepped back,
and from the shelf I knocked of a porcelain doll.

I had to pay for them,
they were a really huge price!
Well, no big deal,
It has already happened twice...

All my efforts were in vain,
because my mother said:
"Thank you sweetie for your pain,
but please, NEVER take care of the house again!

On my mother's birthday..

On my mothers birthday,
I stroll along the streets.
Looking at the mouthwatering,
yummy sweeets and treats.
I wish I could buy some of those,
but I really rather not,
because she won't be happy with those,
she thinks she has alot.
A big house where she can roam,
2 lovely daughters and a cellphone.
A caring husband who is sweet,
that makes her life complete.

She doesn't need much you can see,

just some friends like you and me.

Thats enough for her,

happy birthday dear mother!
