Sparrow - by Revathi Raj Iyer

There lived a sparrow, who knew not how to chirp
She made strange noises that sounded like a burp

She flew in fright
In dark and night

Trying to figure out what made the mother sparrow chirp like a twerp!

Grasshopper - by Revathi Raj Iyer

Once upon a time there was a silly grasshopper
that prayed day and night to be endowed with a chopper

Lazy to fly
Mean and sly

It learnt to fly the chopper, but alas! nobody called it a showstopper :)

Cat - a limerick by Revathi Raj Iyer

In a non-descript town lived dear old Matt
who had a mad cat that never chased a rat

She was a lazy bone
and waited for her scone

I believe that she wanted one which smelt like a rat

Limerick - International Yoga Day (Revathi Raj iyer)

I had nothing to do on a Sunday
I decided to sleep in till midday

“Rise and shine,” said my momma
“Meditate and rejuvenate,” said the Lama

I fell off the bed when everybody screamed, “hey today is the World Yoga day.”

My first limerick (Revathi Raj Iyer)


I started thinking limericks when I was in a cradle
I started writing these as I grew young and able
I read them aloud
To the sun, moon and cloud

For nobody listened to my verses because I think it made them unstable :)

The End

I was startled to see two strange men seated on the tattered sofa of my tiny home. I quickly hid behind the curtain but it was too late....
