Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Bookworm Darling Nursery Rhyme

There was a pretty little girl, 
    who loved to read all the time!
    books here, books there,
    books anywhere, books everywhere -
    
                                         on the bed, under the shade, 
                                         on the swing, birds sing.
                                         in the tree, read with glee!
                                         on the slide, what a delight!

    at dawn, in the morn,
    at dusk, really fast. 
    in the dark, in the light, 
    Oh my! sunny bright!

                                        at last ....
                                        got a huge pair of glasses! 
                                        mom and dad say - 
                                        doesn't she look prettier?
                                        our bookworm is the best!

             

                                 FIRST PLACE
