Childhood, no more a time ‘tis to chill,
What a way, child's very child to kill!
It's time to draw a line,
Every child's no Einstein,
S@tire, but enough of truth there's still.

Congratulations Pathakji..Every child's no Einstein.
A brilliant limerick Sir! I congratulate you once again! To MyPoemList
I notice, you were the first to give the feedback when it was not yet a POD, and the last today... thank you so much.
A wonderful, insightful and wisdom filled limerick. A witty short write that creates a deep impact. A must read for all parents who want to shape their children the way they wanted them to be. Congratulations, Sir Aniruddha for a well deserved accolade.
A child would have to be exceptionally talented to be compared with the scientist of relativity and place-time-Albert Einstein. A parent may have too high expectations of their child- not uncommon.The cartoon is so right.
Well said, such great expectations.. Albert Einstein, but parents should beware, it might turn out to be another Frankenstein. Thanks dear poet.

I would like to translate this poem
The Limerick and the cartoon , so powerfully express the message i.e.'the precarious condition of today's child'. There is no time to chill.We burden the child with our high expectations and except him to perform without caring his inner ability or interest.As a result he gets no time for fun or game. Congratulations for your poem being selected as the Poem of the Day!
