Lost and Found

Sukhada Rahalkar

Not here, not there.
Where have you gone?

Not on the sofa.
Not under the cot.

Not in the box.
Not under my sister's frock.

Not under the pillow.
Not in my bag.
Sob, sob, where have you gone?

I have looked in every room,
l have looked under every book.

I have looked under the chair,
I have looked under the stool.
Where have you gone?

Soon granny came back from her walk.
"Look what I found in the park."

"It can sway, it can bounce.
It can spin, it can dangle.
Ha-ha, hee-hee," said Granny with a giggle.

Oh Granny! Thank you so much!
You have found my dear yo-yo!

"Yo-yo? What a funny name!
What a funny toy!
I want to play with it,
It gives me so much joy!"

Giggle, giggle, giggling away,
Granny played, with my little toy.
For the rest of the day!
