Little Girls’ Hearts

for Divyánka and Ísha Sánghvi
–
Divyanka and Isha are two little girls;
They live in a postbox all covered in pearls.
The postbox is purple, but sometimes it’s green:
No sillier postbox was ever there seen!
–
Their dad’s an accountant and good at his sums;
He does all his counting on fingers and thumbs.
Their mum keeps them tidy and every day cooks;
She helps with their homework and reads them their books.
–
And there they live happily, meeting their friends,
And only at bedtime the happiness ends.
But then come the morning it once again starts,
For such is the way with all little girls’ hearts.
