A Day When Everything Went Wrong!

Once on a day in Mid-May,
Each house was covered in the Sun’s ray,
It seemed to be a day very pleasing,
But problems kept me chasing!
In the morning the bus left me,
I requested my father to drop me,
But a ferocious look he gave me.
Finally, after dropping me to school,
I recognised myself as a big fool!
I forgot to note that there was no school that day,
Which was the worst moment of the day!
While returning home by car,
The Sun was so hot that I took a sweat shower!
While having lunch in the dining hall,
I tripped over my ball and had a great fall,
I just landed on the burning hot food,
Which just ruined my mood!
In the evening when I was out to play,
In the tunnel, I chose the wrong way,
Which forced me to face a new trouble,
But the more I tried to come out of it, my problem grew double!
After reaching home for dinner,
I gave myself the name, ‘TROUBLE WINNER’,
When I was watching TV while eating my meal,
The lights went out and gave me a disheartening feel,
This was the end of this repulsive day,
Which never comes again, I PRAY!

The Lost Box

Once Nora and her friends were on a picnic at a lake. They placed the picnic mat and Ava, Zuri and Lonnie started putting the food on the mat. Nora and Zuri changed into their swimming costumes and went into the lake for a swim.

While they were swimming, Zuri stumbled upon a box which was submerged in the water. Nora took the box out and saw that it had the sign of a castle which she had seen in a history book before.

When they opened the box they found some sketches, a map and a photograph of a queen, a king and a boy. Lonnie said that they might even become famous for finding this box. Ava did some research and she found out that the sign of the castle on the box was the crest of the king of Udaipur. The king had a wonderful palace right beside the lake. He often used to go to the lake for fishing.

Nora and her friends gave the box to the Udaipur museum. The box was placed in the famous king’s exhibition of the museum. And guess what, they got their names written on a plaque just below the exhibit!

“This was found by Nora, Ava, Lonnie and Zuri, tourists at Fateh Sagar Lake.”

Staying in the Wild

Once in the dense forests,

My family, my friends, and I were invited as guests.

We saw a ferocious lion,

Who followed my friend, Ryan!

We tried to rescue him,

And we had a win!

We heard the swaying of boughs,

And saw some wild cows.

My friend took me,

Under the shade of a gigantic tree.

Soon we fell asleep,

While the others swam in the deep.

My sister played a prank on me,

She took my specs so that I couldn’t see!

When I woke up, I searched for them,

As they were my dearest gem.

I scolded her with frightening eyes,

Then she started her crocodile cries.

I told her to stop her tries,

And give me my gems of eyes!

When we were off to explore the jungle,

My sister and brother started a ‘dangal’,

I told them to calm down,

And stop giving me a frown!

We appreciated the wonderful creation of god,

Then I suddenly splashed in the pond!

This was the end of our trip,

Which we enjoyed with a soup sip.

Ode to Ants

The ants come marching
Going up
Going down
Going all around
Having a detour
searching for food
climbing on kitchen shelves
to get some grains
There they go again!
Marching in a queue
sniffing the trails
waving their antennae
The ants go marching,
fall in line!
