Tick Tock Clocks! (poem)

Tick tock tick tock,

Says the common clock,

It's only a normal one.

But the Grand High Clock

Doesn't say tick tock.....

It says

DING DONG DING DONG!!!!

The sleepy clocks are always snoozing

And from their mouths, saliva is oozing!

The lazy clocks are always running late

But they work normally after they ate!

The skyscraper clocks are big and tall

And some of them are taller than a mall!

Bodybuilder clocks never break,

But sometimes put their mechanism at stake!

These are just some of them

There are more in the world of time

There are perfect clocks and imperfect clocks

But I'll tell you about them when we meet next time!

Fantasy Valley (poem)

One day when I was

Walking in my garden 

I saw a white rabbit 

With a heavy-looking burden

I just casually asked it

Oh poor thing, is that heavy?

And it answered! In proper English 

No dear it's not, and I'm quite steady

I was surprised,

Very very

And more surprised

When it offered me a berry!

Then it led me to a hole

Big enough for an elephant!

He took my hand and jumped into the hole

And just as we landed, I saw a skeleton!

Then rabbit said 

Welcome to Fantasy Valley!

Then hand in hand, we ran towards a shop

And saw a board which said Tea and Snack Alley!

We went there and had a cup

Of chocolate lemon tea

And then we ate honey chilli cake

And a purple strawberry!

After we ate, the rabbit said

It's time for you to go

And whoosh! opened the ground beneath us

And we were home, behold and lo!

My eyes were closed in the come-back trip

And when I opened them

I saw the rabbit smiling at me

Then in a blink, he disappeared, leaving a sparkling gem!

What I did this weekend! (poem)

I woke up in the morning and took my bath,

Then I had my yoga class;

Then I had to eat my food,

And attend a violin class!

I came back home after one hour,

Lay down and took some rest;

Then started my school homework,

I really did my best!

I then read some books,

And watched a little TV,

When the clock struck five, I went out to play,

With my neighbourhood friend whose name is Kashvi.

We both played till seven pm,

Then I went back home;

I had a yummy dinner,

Then soaked myself in bubbles and foam!
