Visit To Book Fair
Visit to Book Fair
Five-year-old Roozie rushed to Mom,
‘Are you going to Book Fair? I am sure to come.’
Mom: ‘So far I know you do not like to study at all.
Last year I bought you nice picture book.
Some pages you just took
out and pasted on wall.
Book was damaged,I discovered that from a nook.
Also you put your remarks on the page
with pen, I could not erase.’
Roozie: ‘You should not delete,
as the rhymes were incomplete.
It was written,’’ the pigs had no caps.”
I wrote two sentences to fill the gaps.
I was considerate to buy for them
and wrote my own poem.’
Mom: ‘Fair ground is dusty.
To dust you have keen allergy.’
Roozie: ‘So what? Dust proof Masks were available.
But you did find that suitable.
You told, price was high,
So you did not buy.
It was not at all funny,
You had enough money.’
Mom: ‘Okay, then decide first
which type of books do you just
want? Picture Books, fairy tales,
rhymes, ghost stories, jungle fables?’
Roozie: ‘I am least interested in books.
Large fluffy pink cotton candy looks
so good, so tasty, so palatable, I declare
“It is my only attraction of Book- Fair.”
