Introduction:
Hi my name is (Your name)
I am (your age) year old and sending this entry
from (your city name).
I am reciting the poem 'If I Had More' from the book My Little World, written by Adhya Bhatnagar.
If I Had More…
It would be nice
If I had two more eyes.
I could see everywhere.
Here & there
I would just stare.
I wish I had two more legs
So I could run faster than my friends.
And I’ll run a marathon race.
If I had many more hands
I could do many more things.
With these hands I’ll do the latest
I’ll be called the fastest & the greatest.
But you know (sniff sniff)
If I have many more eyes
And more legs and hands,
When I go down to play
My friends will think I’m a monster
And they will all run away!

Who Painted The World
Who painted the morning skies?
And those pretty butterflies?
From which market
Do you get the fluorescent white
Which filled the moon so bright?
Who filled the sea with blue?
Clouds have different colours too!
Who dyed the trees with green?
Everywhere it is seen!
Who painted the bamboo shoots?
Who coated the colour on fruits?
I don’t know who painted these
What a great mystery it is!
