Professor Sita and Sri Raja mani to whom I am Chithappa

Professor  Sita  and  Sri Raja mani to whom I am Chithappa

 

With tears by

Raja Thatha 

(Prof Sita  was a great  professor  of Statistics in SIT college Mummbai and  Raja mani worked in Union bank of india .Last month a  serious  but mysterious  disease  swallowed them both )

One  doctor  in vellore  and his gold like wife

Wanted to see  their  grand  children fast

Their  dear  Jana  who  knew everything

Gave  birth  to  a very pretty  grand daughter

 

They  were happy  but  still wanted  a grand son

Their  darling pappu  came  to their home,

And satisfied  their  desire  and  gave them a  grand son

And they preferred  to call him the king  as well as gem

 

Their  first  grand daughter whom them   named

AS daughter  of earth broke  all the records

That  those  two oldies  knew  and became,

The  shining star who taught and made million stars

 

The  royal  gem spent  some time in Puthucode

And  learned  to laugh  himself and also

Made  any  one  he  met  to roar  ,

With laughter  till their belly  ached

 

Both of them became sparkling  gems

Whom all  the world  wanted  to own

The daughter  of earth chose he who is handsome

And  the  royal gem  wanted to have  a flower  his own

 

Both  these  grand children lived  a life

Of purpose and joy and gave  the world

Two treasures   each to this  world.

And they to made  their  parents  as great  grand parents

 

Sitting   in a  humble nook  , this  veryold man

Is not able to understand  the great  hurry,

That  these  two ones, left the world

From whom shall we learn and from whom shall we laugh
