The Picture Book of India

Yesterday's post was heavy, so today please enjoy this rough draft of my as-yet unpublished masterpiece. Clearly I missed my true calling as a children's book author.



Here are some Hindus! And more of their ilk


Here is a Westerner, shopping for silk


Here is a rickshaw, a death trap on wheels


Here 10 cents a day buys a child two meals


Here is a man with some wood up on top


Here children dance like they don't want to stop


Here is some yoga - here body meets mind


Here are six nurses lined up in a line 


Here is a coconut tree and its fruit


Here are some strays napping right in your route


Here is a place you can't play when it rains




Here is a grove where they grow sugarcane


Here is a cat with a brain in its head

And here's where we lie down, exhausted, in bed.



The End!

  1. Your dog does that regularly in Boston intersections but she is attached to a leash and can be yanked out of danger when necessary.
