Kids’ Poetry, Monsoon, Come Soon

Monsoon, O Monsoon!

Come Soon, Come Soon.

Sunrise and Sundown now

Are hot like noon, hot like noon.

The land is cursed but

You’re a Boon, are a Boon.

Look! My mouth is burning

Like a fiery spoon, fiery spoon.

Please end this wait,

Or the sweating baboon

Will Soon Swoon, Soon Swoon.

Am I a loon or are you a goon?

Stop teasing and make the land

A lagoon, a Lagoon.

O Dear Monsoon! Come Soon!
