Notes About The Poem

Yummy Treats For Christmas

losing two front teeth made Ashwin sad
                        eating Christmas cookies hard - feels mad!
                                  no chocolate, no game cards
                              two teeth back - that's all he wants,
                       more treats on his plate - big brother glad!

I know Anitha has a son whose name is Ashwin??Is it a common boy's name for you? Maybe I have remembered wrong the name of Anitha's son!

Dear Andrea, it's not a common name for boys. It's the name of a star in constellation, according to Hindu mythology. You are right, Anitha's son's name is Ashwin too.

Mala, I really appreciate you trying a limerick and I wanted to show the cute idea you came up with. if it had rhymed, it would easily have gotten a numbered placement. Thanks for entering!

No worries, Andrea. This is the first time I tried a Limerick - and didn't try hard on the rhyming. Thanks for HM.
