When I started rhyming





If you are one of my family members, you have heard this poem long ago and laughed at my innocence. If you are Nimisha or Saloni, you have heard me sing ( yes, I sang this!) this poem out to you and laughed. Everyone deserves a good laugh now and then, so I decided that other people should read this too. This is perhaps my first poem and I wrote it when I was in 3rd standard (or around that time, I don't clearly remember). So here it is :

My little sheep

I am a little buddy
I lost my sheep
I can't find it!
I have searched here
I have searched there
But can't find it!

At last I came to a place
Full of grace*
To find my little sheep!

Then I discovered a thing
With a little white wing
And I discovered it was
My little-pittle* sheep!

* full of grace : because 'grace' was the only word rhyming to place that came to my mind at that point of time

*little-pittle : I coined it. Thinking of getting it patented. Who knows, it might feature in Oxford dictionary someday!

:D

 My brain is in knots. I imagine my brain to be made wholly of knots - some might even say the imagery is close to the actual gyri and sulci...
