Rhyme Time
Testing time

When examinations are near,

Students tremble with fear.

Maths sums are not clear,

Looking at them their eyes are

filled with tears.

Chemistry and history

Both appear like a great mystery.

Biology induces sleep,

Figures and diagrams pile up

to form a heap.

Physics puts great stress on mind,

To difficult problems,

answers they can’t find.

Everything appears like a sleepy rhyme,

Their reddish eyes remind them

of the sleeping time.

My little brother, sweet and cute,

Oh my God! He never remains mute,

He runs like a rat and catches like a cat,

And sometimes does things truly mad

Seeing an ice cream, he always screams

I do wonder what he dreams

My little brother, sweet and cute,

Oh my God! He never never remains mute.

When it comes to studies, he’s so silent

Like the ants hiding from an elephant.

When he starts crying, it looks like the earth will burst

And then he asks me, where’s the purse.

My little brother, sweet and cute,

Oh my God! He never remains mute.
