Linnet - by Revathi Raj Iyer

"Oceans are dark, mountains are majestic," wrote the poet
"Why is that?" asked the confused linnet

He broke into a song
And stroke his beard, white and long

But failed to convince the linnet the essence of his sonnet

Sa re ga ma pa da ni - by Revathi Raj Iyer

Sa re ga ma pa da ni
What is it that I see on your knee?

Everyone looked at one another
Without looking at her brother

So tiny was he that he sat like a speck on her knee

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 :)
