Roozie's Visit To Book Fair
Five-year-old Roozie rushed to Mom :
- ‘Are you going to Book Fair ?’
Mom nodded ‘ Yes, but you are not to go.
Roozie - ‘ This isn’t fair.
You don’t care
for me ! ‘
Mom - ‘So far I know,
you don’t like to study at all.
For you I will buy bat ball.
Last year I bought you nice picture book,
Few pages you took
out and pasted on wall.
Book was spoiled, wall looked dirty’.
Roozie- ‘ I’m hale and hearty.
Why had you bought books without my consent ?
It was your fault. I’m just innocent.’
Mom- ‘On page of the book,
you have put remarks of your own.
Few pages were torn.
Not good.'
Roozie - ‘ Don’t be rude.
Rhymes were incomplete.
So I had to write some sentences to match it.
It was written that ,
pigs had no hats.
They must be sad.
I wish to feel them glad.
I was considerate to claim
hats for them.
I added extra line
to make all fine.’
Mom - ‘Dusty fair ground ! You have allergy to dust.’
Roozie- ‘So what? Buy mask just.’
Dust proof Masks were available , rather
You didn’t bother
as price didn’t suit you.
That’s my view .
But I know, Honey !
You had enough money.
Mom- Okay. Which type of book do you need ?
I’ll buy indeed.
Fairy tales, fun stories, stories of ghost ?
Which type do you like most ?’
Roozie- ‘I am least interested in books, Dear !
I’m making it clear.
My only urge
to have Extra large
fluffy cotton candy sold
( as I have already told )
only in Book Fair !
Please do care.’
