Rhymes for kids

Poetry quenches everyone’s thirst for enjoyment, but the most benefitted of the lot are kids. Even before kids get to nursery, the singing of

makes them eat their food, play around and sleep too. They donot generally have a meaning but have a strong rhyme to be composed into song for children to enjoy it. Here is one of their favorites for you:

 

This old man, he plays one
He plays knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddy wack
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he plays two
He plays knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddy wack
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he plays three
He plays knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack paddy wack
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he plays four
He plays knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddy wack
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he plays five
Don’t play knick knack on that hive
With a knick knack paddy wack 
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

Trick or Treat?

Wandering little fello in search of the right trick to play

After all the trials the little one made, to ensure he scares others;

Hold,hold,hold

am very bold

I can be this,

or i can be that

guess what i have been

on this Halloween!! 

this one has turned to be treat to our eyes 🙂 Isnt it?

Diwali Hoooo

Its time, its time,

Hearty welcome

Please join the line,

for objection is seldom

 

Hearts filled with delight,

as Diwali goodies come

Tummies tucked so tight,

to have the yummys wholesome

 

Ladoo, Barfi, Pedha,

and Dry fruits of wide range

Tired of saying ‘thoda thoda ’

as greetings exchanged

 

By the end of the season,

you sure put up mass

And then find every reason,

for a stringent weight loss

 

And ofcourse the vibrant patakas

Lit by the lamps so bright

Fills with Dhoom dhamaka

Marking the end of demons’ fight

only her married name.

I listened hard

till I heard

that the same…
