Gannu

 

Roly-poly round belly

with the prankster mouse pious-

he sits with a look airy

on the great royal dais. 

His large ears hear all our chants

while the little eyes twinkle. 

His nose twirls as in a dance,

and irons out our wrinkles. 

But soon comes time for good-bye-

we immerse, He will stand by.

Janmashtami

 

Embodying divine spirits

the human pyramid soared.

Swaying with colourful wits,

the souls danced as the rain poured.

And amidst the bells of joy,

a small boy climbed to the top.

Mischievous appearing coy,

he broke the clay yogurt pot.

And as the white honey flew-

deep inside me a conch blew.
