[A poem by Mr. Samudrala Harikrishna titled ‘The Merry-Go-Round!’.]
Wait a minute wait a minute
You haven’t seen anything yet!
The jolly ride is ahead
The merry-go-round is overhead
It comes down to take you in
To make your heads spin and spin!
Here he presses the ‘Go’ button
The ride up and down, Lo, it’s On!
Cock-a-hoop with joy
Folks singing and frolicking, ahoy
It shows no difference, young or old
The aerial motion round and round
Grandma and grandson hand in hand
Bilssfully aware, ignorantly blissful
The two forming a strange spectacle
No pupil soaring, showing a trace of Scare
The Anxious Teacher with a cane to Spare!
Romeo and Juliet with clasped hands
Eyes into each other, joy brimming in Hearts!
There a Child yelling doubly excited
Here an Oldie trembling, simply terrified!
It’s speed, chatter, jokes and loads of fun
The rotund Contraption, second to None!
