The Later Hour!

Gopal was in 5th standard
He played with his friends a lot
And was behind in studies
So his teacher thought of a remedy.

The school hour was 9 to 5
In which teacher tried to teach
For their students to score
And their parents would not be sour.

At the end of class Gopal played
So every day he waited class to end
When Teacher asked, “Can you
study an hour later tomorrow.”
Gopal replied, “Yeh, sure. See you at 10!”

The Mighty Elephant in Paper!

Gopal was 5years old
His Mom took him to retail store
Where they gave him crayons and paper to occupy
While his Mom shopped away.

Children are a lot creative
What they think that they apply
Gopal had drawn a squiggly mark
When asked told it was mouse.

“Is that your favourite animal”, some one asked
“No, my favourite is an elephant,
Gopal replied, “And I’m
Too small to draw that big!”

Same Feathers on Second Glance

Gopal and his brother were in high school
Their parents sent to them to same school
At night their Mom used to read bed time stories
When they were small children.

Each used to develop an idea
From other one’s thoughts
Which they shared together
Through which they went further.

But now they competed with each other
And one did not care about other
When their Mom asked their teacher
She replied, “They don’t have lot in common!.”

The Gift of Teeth!

Gopal was a young kid
Who played with his friends
One day one of his teeth came lose
And complained to his Mother being afraid.

Children teeth fall when they grow
Only to replace by new teeth
This fact Gopal did not know
And his Mom wanted to make him understand.

Mom said,“God gives as present twice
So you can have your teeth grow free again,
Only if the third time you lose,
You have to pay for them through dentist!”

Healthy Wealth!

Gopal was a school teacher
His students were poor in studies
They had to face common board exam
Gopal wondered how to make them clear the exam.

Some of their parents were farmers
Who put their children in school with great dreams
So Gopal took extra-classes
And kept his fingers crossed.

When the day of result came
To his delight all of the children passed,
And students came to thank him
He said, “I am now one of the richest person than Forbes!”

Elusive Word!

Gopal had an elder brother
Who had finished his studies
And was searching for a job
While his father thought of helping him.

There were many companies
His father knew some one in Dictionary office
So Gopal father told his brother
He had put a word for him there.

That evening while doing home-work
Gopal was searching the dictionary
When his father enquired,
He replied, “He can’t find the word put for his brother!”

Caught In The Act!

Gopal and Sham were in 5th standard
Who played together and helped each other
Gopal was not good at studies
And exams were approaching fast.

Teacher set the question paper
So students progress she could take care
When the day of exam came
Gopal was worried how he could save his name.

After the exam results in class were announced
Only Sham was successful with good marks
When Gopal countered teacher, she said,
“Sham for last question wrote, ‘I don’t know’,
While you wrote , ‘Neither do I.!”

Fooling For Some Space

Gopal and Sham were friends
They were playing in school ground
Where older children also came to play
Who ordered Gopal to make way.

Gopal was playing with water gun
Which looked like original gun
Sham thought of a plan
And told Gopal to give him the gun.

Sham showed older boys the gun
Being afraid they were on the run
Gopal laughed and said, “This gun is not fatal.”
Sham replied, “But they don’t know that.!”

To Taste First Although Last!

Gopal was in 6th standard
One day was one of his class mat’s birthday
So his classmate distributed sweets
With teacher’s guidance trying to make it neat.

Children are stubborn
And want to be the first
Either to eat sweets or play
Since that is the way they spend time in happy way.

Gopal was last in queue
So evading teacher’s eye
He ran to his classmates, shouting
“Don’t waste time tasting … just swallow!”

Evergreen Hero!

Gopal Mom was helping him surf the internet
When Gopal saw a video of the actor he knew
And asked his Mom to freeze the mouse
So he could watch what he loves.

The actor was doing a stunt
That everyone could remember forever
For which he for everyone could be dear
And which others would never dare.

Mom showed Gopal , written, “Passed away while doing stunt”,
And told Gopal his hero had failed,
Gopal replied,” But also written, It is viewed more than
40million times on YouTube!.”

When Three Tasted Two!

Gopal had two friends
Who brought three chocolates
During the lunch session
While they were in school

Gopal friends were poor in studies
But Gopal was intelligent
He saw his friends counting chocolates
Filled with worries.

Each was holding one and counting the other two
Told Gopal one Chocolate was missing
Gopal put one in his mouth and told them to do the same
To their astonishment with sweet taste in all
of their mouth their problem they overcame!

Saving Easily!

Gopal was in 8th standard
His brother was smart but a year younger
One day teacher told Gopal to save money
And Gopal decided not to spend any penny.

In the evening when his brother caught bus
Gopal ran behind the bus
All the way to his house
And their Mom was surprised.

Gopal told his Mom what teacher said,
His brother added, “He always thinks small,
If he had ran behind a taxi,
To save six dollars for him would have been easy!”

From Circle To Line!

Gopal had a younger sister
Who with her friend talked a lot
This made Gopal like a fool appear
In front of his Mother.

Mom used to read books to her children
And after wards asked questions
She wanted her children to be intelligent
For that most of her time she spent.

One day Gopal Mother asked,
“How was Copper wire invented?”
Gopal replied looking at his sister,
When she with her friend was
fighting over a Copper coin!

The Lead!

Gopal in teens lived in India
His younger brother was studying in U.K.
The brothers were competing with each other
For their status to be higher.

Gopal loved his country very much
Where 1.21 billion people lived in harmony
With fast growing economy
And having enough to spend penny.

One day Gopal’s brother called,
And in phone said,"I am ahead",
For that Gopal asked the time in U.K.
And explained "India is five-and -half hours ahead!”

Parental Thought…

5 years old Gopal lived in big city
Which had all the facility
But there were robbers and thieves
Which Gopal’s Mom was afraid.

Gapal’s Mom was walking her son back home
And Gopal asked her Mom to buy sweets
Which she brought from shop
While thought of thieves was in her mind top.

Gopal’s Mom said, “Don’t accept sweets from strangers”,
Munching the chocolates Gopal asked “Why?”
Gopal’s Mom for a moment thought,
And said, “Because they might be past their expiry date!”

Loss of Face!

Gopal was in 5th standard
His elder brother good books used to read
They lived in a big town
Where his brother brought from fair books.

Gopal competed with his brother on knowledge
Although he read the books least
And their parents knew the difference
Which for Gopal was offence.

One day Gopal was sent to shop by his brother
Gopal decided a lot of knowledge he would pour
When vendor of the shop asked which book
Gopl replied, "Is there Shakespeare in English?!"
