I start my journey from the snow-clad mountains

Jumping joyfully, I come down to the plains

The radiant sun shines through my water

I am lovingly called the beautiful earth’s daughter

I flow through many cities, towns and villages

Kids play in me while elders worship me since ages

Giving everyone my water, I feel so gleeful

Please don’t pollute me, be a little careful

Calm and serene, I run through my course

Splashing happily with rocks, I have no remorse

I finally join the ocean so mighty

Always be kind, compassionate and helpful just like me!

I have a friend who is quite cute and sweet

But all he wants to ever do is to eat eat eat

I have named him Hungry, you know why

He waits by the door staring at me with big brown eyes

He squeaks with delight everytime he sees me with his food

Dancing with him always brightens my mood

When I give him food, he immediately gobbles it up

He doesn’t even want his food in a plate or a cup

How is it so? You may wonder

Grab a sit and take a minute to ponder

You see Hungry is none other than a peacock

Everyday I sit by him and we eat some peanuts and talk!

I once had a really funny dream

I saw some elephants which were trying to swim

Giraffes were twirling around and dancing ballet

I looked up and saw some fish flying away

Dogs were singing melodiously instead of barking

All the trees were laughing and talking

A man with a big moustache drove his car straight up a rainbow

There was an upside-down waterfall with water that glowed

As I was floating on my beautiful cloud

‘Time for school’ I heard my mother shout

I wish my dream would come true one day

But I will have to go to school today!
