Limericks I Poem By Nayantara, 7, Kolkata

Limericks

There was a  small child named Lane.

Who liked to splash in the rain

He’d play with the red and white ball

But one day he said don’t want to fall

Because my new t-shirt will have a stain.

There was a boy, called Mac.

Who didn’t want to spent a lac

But all the  books cost more

So he went to other store

But there was only one book called Black.

There was one girl called Jane.

Who liked to play on the lane

But the grass became big

She decided to dig

 But her mother said, no Jane.
