Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty Poet Limerick

Rimjhim Is a Little Girl From India

Rimjhim is a little girl from India
                              Wears in her forehead little red Bindya
                                          I give her a candy
                                        She says "uncle Sandy
                               I must go to Delhi and kiss Scindia".
