Rattling of a Six year old Child

PREFACE
The following verse was rattled instantly by my Six year old Grand Daughter,DHRITI by name,(my only son VINOD's younger of the two daughters he has) settled in London with her only sister and her parents, when she saw me composing poems in English during my stay with them along with my wife on a recent holiday.She instantly blurred out these verses one fine morning much to the delight of us all.I had then promised her that these rattlings of hers which fitted in the form of a poem will also find a place along with my other writings in my web site on my return to India.I thought it fit to share this writing with my other members of Kavitanjali family.

The charecter KOCHIMMA mentioned in this poem refers to my wife,so called by my both grand daughters since we were in Kochi in kerala when our first Grand Daughter,Dhriti's elder sister DHANYA was born.

I do not know whether others who read this maiden poem of my Grand Daughter Dhriti will get the same feeling as I have.Perhaps not.It would not be fair to expect so. But the joy I get every time I read these verses and the joy Dhriti will get for sure on seeing her maiden poem on print will be more than adequate to justify this writing.

My Creme

KOCHIMMA,KOCHIMMA,WHERE HAD YOU BEEN?
I had been to Sainburys to get you the Creme
KOCHIMMA,KOCHIMMA Where is my Creme?
When you find it my vallet,Am sure you will beam.
