Little Evelyn Poem by Raj Arumugam

Little Evelyn
she's been standing
for her portrait
And little Evelyn is tired
'Are we done yet? '
asks little Evelyn
'Can I look? '
Little Evelyn slouches
and then stands up straight;
little Evelyn can't keep her mind
clear on the task at hand
Little Evelyn yawns
and then she shouts: 'Oh, all right!
I will be still! '
Little Evelyn sways left and right
'Can I look at my purr-trait? '
'Do I look pretty in it? '
Little Evelyn lets her mind wander
on to the pie she had this morning;
and little Evelyn yawns
and she says:
'Are we finished?
I think I'm as sleepy as the cat
in its basket…'
