Crazy Schools

I haven't been keeping well for the past few days. No need to worry and am not down with swine flu, but yes a flu like condition and the past week had been crazy and chaotic to say the least. In fact, it would be better if you could toss the two together and add a bit of mindboggling as well. Khushei was supposed to participate in a school elcotution contest, which was an inter-school competition and this girl was supposed to write a poem, learn it with expression in two days flat. And, mind you the poem should have a dash of humour in it, it should be long enough to be recited for two and half minutes. I just don't understand what these upmarket schools are trying to do. As usual, mom has to step in and we jot down a poem on Water

Drops of water

Pure and natural

Will quench your thirst

Reach for the bottle

My home is up in the clouds

But I also live in rocks

When clouds get angry

I am about to get a shock

When I touch the leaves

They dance with me

Kids jump in the puddle

But grownups escape for me

I flood the roads

I drown the rivers

When my job is done

I run to the ocean

When out from spring

I taste as sweet as sugar

When out from ocean

I taste so bitter

I create lives

Wherever I go

But I'm so precious

And this you must know

Want to know the result of the Elocution contest, Khushei didn't win because she forgot the lines, but we are happy that she participated.

Bye bye till the next time
