Why?

Why?

-Sowmya Pochiraju

Roses are so pretty,

but don’t have much smell Jasmines not as pretty but so fragrant I must tell

No one has seen a nightingale dance but      

When it sings the air is filled with joy & care

A peacock does not have such a sweet voice         

But when it dances the world stops to stare.

Crayons or colours can brighten up a page but one mistake can spoil the whole thing.  

A simple pencil won’t write in colour but how many mistakes, eraser is the only thing.

Bakers can cook but can’t keep football scores

Sports men can win a match but do not know how much milk to pour.

I do not know why I still wish for more.
