Charitakshi Nuniwal, Class 8, Summer Fields School, New Delhi
The last day of school—oh! What a delight,
When all our summery dreams take flight.
“Hurray!” we scream, “Summer vacations are here!”
Homework and books aren’t to be seen anywhere near.
One month of endless cartoons and fun,
Time to finally meet Mr. Scorching Sun.
Watching the IPL final with family and friends,
Reading my favourite books where the adventure never ends.
Having imaginary concerts all through the night,
Playing cricket in the street all day—isn’t that right?
Gather your paintbrushes, it’s time to draw.
Slurping refreshing smoothies with a beachside straw.
At times, staring at the clouds, burst and rain,
When you’ve got to stay inside and play ‘indoor games.’
Let’s leave the world behind and give our minds a rest
Just peace and joy, forget all the tests.’
For kids, these times are a dream come true,
When no one scolds and tells you what to do.
So, where do you want to go? It’s time for vacations
The best time of the year it’s nothing less than a celebration!
