          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.’
