Limericks

By Brinda Chakraverty

Ignorance makes one believe one is smart

Like the monkey, who’s innocent at heart…

Stole the cap with cleverness

Cleverness: humans possess,

Thus, with the cap the monkey had to part…

The mighty hen marched with a pen,

Teaching her students one to ten,

The cow learned up to nine-

The fox, till five, was fine!

The mighty hen ran to the den…

The old man’s heart jumped with joy and glee,

Thought that his sons would not let him flee-

They all gathered by his side,

To know the wealth, he did hide-

To let him free was the old man’s plea.
