Rhyme Time
Earth’s future

Barren land

Full of sand

Floods and famine

and no place for metals to mine

Sun rays hot and direct

causing hazardous effect

Fresh air

Found nowhere

Volcanoes and earthquakes

occurring with no breaks

Human beings crying

and animals dying

for pure water to drink

when rivers themselves shrink

This is the future of earth

which was never thought

during its birth

It is the best season

Do you know what’s the reason?

Summer holidays! Yeah

This is the reason

This season is children’s

Best friend

It is an old trend

It is full of enjoyment

That god has sent

None does it ever bore

We want it more and more

We always remain in good mood

and eat lots of junk food

We never fall sick

It’s our health trick

What is it? I can’t tell

Howsoever, you may compel

We pray that it never ends

Thank god for the holidays he sends
