Limerick [Poetry]
There was a boy named Sam,
He loved to gulp on jam.
He used to dream all night,
Making shadows with light
And he would eat shoes with ham.
– Girisha Jhunjhunwala
This poem is written by Girisha Jhunjhunwala, a 9-year-old from Kolkata, who has been mentored by the team at Word Munchers.
