MAMA WONDERS --1 : RHYME 67

How all take birth and how they
all die,
How youngs become old and weak
one day!
How flowers blossom and how 
fruit grow,
How some trees grow tall, how
some low!
How some live in water and some
in the land,
How some swim and some walk, 
run and stand!
How birds have wings and how 
they fly,
How some fly low and how some 
fly high!
How some animals live and die 
in jungles,
How some live with humans in 
towns and vills!
How some animals feed on leaves 
and grass,
How some animals feed on other
animals!
How some species are strong and
powerful,
How some species are powerless
and feeble!
How some are big like elephants 
and whales,
How some are small like moths,
bugs and cells!
How some are always angry and
violent,
How some are always calm and
innocent!
How some are friendly always to
each other,
How some are hostile always to
each other!
How lives are all diverse from one
another,
How all have same birth and death,
however!

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
