On Top Ten Summer Words
Posted: 24 Oct 2012, 06:24
Sundays grandma took us to the Marina.
On the way at Triplicane
we bought Frisbees
plastic sand- pie buckets,
spades and a palm leaf basket
of cooking utensils for five rupees.
As for the marshmallow we cradled that too.
And the scooping out happened on the beach mat.
We flung the thick rind
and marked where it fell.
Who could fling the fastest
with out the heavy javelin?
Dandelions are flowers
Cousin of our sunflower
You curl up into a ball
our sunflower dries up
looks like the face of March Hatter.
After that it was barbecue
Not turkey's breast or thigh
Only potato, sweet potato and palm root.
Dog days are difficult times
we did not feel it
we had our dog and we had our days.
`'In what way is the solstice like ketchup?''
asked the red queen.
Look at your face in the mirror
and look at your veins
and you get the answer.
As for picnics we went to Vedanthangal
to the sanctuary of birds.
For the vacation we scaled the Kodai hills
and because the Chinese have the proverb
`He eats best who perspires'
we learnt to eat without a twirling fan.
