Icecream and Books
Berry Happy, Berry Sad
I saw an ice-cream dancing with joy,
The flavour was blueberry, very nice to try.
It was a sight to see and enjoy,
When it ended, the ice-cream was ready to cry.
Book Wings and Magic Things

I fly in the sky with my book wings.
Hoping to reach Disneyland,
I wish that my book atleast sings.
Till I land safely in the California land.
