My dearest Kiddylane friends,
I haven't written poems these past few weekends,
Because of some important reasons,
And the change of seasons!
Mom said I should have,
But I would have,
If I could have!
I had a meeting with Barack Obama,
He wanted to discuss with me a world championship for drama!
Then I went to Thomas Martin Einstein's
tracking lab, to track a lost UFO, what science!
Next I had to go to Burj-al-Arab and Burj Khalifa,
To have Arabic coffee and cardamom tea with Sheikh Khalifa!
Later when I reached home, I found out about my broken ceiling,
And I had to live in a tribal tent, talk about a scary feeling!
So, the ceiling is repaired now,
My little cousin did it somehow!
Finally, I can write my poem tonight,
With my mind so fresh and bright;
Bye comrades, I have to now go home,
'Coz tomorrow again, I'm meeting the Pope in Rome!
And I hope you believe my words,
These aren't excuses for not writing,
I really really would have,
If I really really could have!
