Minni and Her Queen

Minni is five
                                              she is peppery
                                   uncle tell me a story of queens
                                  hey I know only kings not queens
                                    not even princes or princesses
                                         they come after kings
                                                  so kings?
                                                 no queens.
                                                    kings?
                                                   queens.
                                       she stomps her little feet
                                         I give her queen candy
                                               queen books
                                                 queen pix
                                                queen game
                                           I want real queens
                                              she proclaims
                                               real queens?
                                  hey, there are no queens in India
                                    all queens are now housewives
                                         I want housewives then
                                             so I marry a girl
                                           and get her a queen
                                              Queen loves her
                                           Queen gives her milk
                                           Queen gives her love
                                                Minni is happy
                                                  she is five
                                                 she is fifteen
                                              she is twenty five
                                                    she is all
                                               my adopted child

Eve Roper December 4, 2014 at 11:51 AM What a beautiful tail of a child wanting a story of a Queen ,so you gave her the next best thing a mom. Good luck on the contest Rajat 7 Eve Roper December 4, 2014 at 1:58 PM Bless you Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty December 4, 2014 at 12:47 PM Thank you Eve dear for your inspiring comment. I always think of the welfare of girl child. They are mainstay of a nation. No nation can prosper if they neglect their girl children. A nation is known by her women citizens. Love.
