Pearls of Wisdom
If people let govt decide what food they eat, their bodies will resemble the souls of those who live under tyranny.

The Shadow Dancers
Poems by Radhika D. Shyam

MIRROR ON THE WALL

"Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Who is the fairest of them all?"
"Methinks no one is fairer than

A nice 'n' white 'n' bright snow-man
For I don't think that he ever can
Even darken himself by sun-tan.

I'LL SHARE A SECRET

You know what? I get Rs.10
From the tooth fairy, when
I place a tooth – right
under my pillow at night.

Now I'll get 32 X Rs.10
(How much is that then?)
Sh.....Sh…Sh! Not a sound.
The tooth fairy might be around.

For, I have an idea very bright _
I'll place Grandpa's dentures there tonight!

HELP!

Wonder from which foreign land
The stork got my baby brother
He doesn't seem to understand us
And we don't follow his blabber

I don't want a communication gap
As I love him so very dearly
So, will someone get a translator?
For I want to befriend him, really.

IN SCHOOL TODAY
 
Some butterflies flew into the Assembly Hall
During the Principal's morning address.
They got fooled into sensing a garden inside
And, perched on her perfumed floral-print dress.

Book Cover Judge

Once I took a big, apple
It looked juicy and red all over.
Mom did offer to cut it
But I judge a book by its cover.
I dug my teeth into it
And met a big, fat worm.
Forced out of its hide-out
It began to angrily squirm
I spat out the bitten piece
For I no longer found it yummy
Thank God! That big, fat worm
Just missed slipping into my tummy.
YUK!!!!
 PN:
Q: What is worse than a worm in an apple???
A: Half a worm in a bitten apple!!!

THE UNWELCOME GUEST              

An uninvited little mouse
 Has caused much havoc in the house.
 It's proved too smart for the trap
And I don't budge from Mom's lap

When Mom wanted it killed with a bat,
Dad suggested, "Let's bring in a cat".
 "So, what now?" You might want to know.
We have a 24/7, Live, 'Tom & Jerry' Show!
