Afternoon Readings

On most afternoons
She likes to sit with me
on that brown big couch
with cushions all around.

Selecting a book ain't that difficult
Most favorites, are on top of the stack.
First comes a croc, with a big smile
who brushes his teeth
every morning and at night.

George is crying,
and so is my Little One
For he has let go off his
dino-shaped balloon.

Reading aloud, as I read out
She isn't happy
as Bruno didn't put his toys away.

Haathi raja comes along,
and the mouse dances in his own baraat.
With all expressions
and actions
She reads along, and she reads along.

On a rainy day
Or on a sunny day
She sits next to me
and snuggles
And we have our afternoon reading sessions.
