Our Houses Poem by gnrao rao

I am a snail,
I have a house
On my back,
I need not pay
EMI. or rent.
I am a tortoise,
I have the cost/shell
On my back.
I too don't pay rent.
Snail and I
We are lucky,
to have our own
houses in-built.
Sea and the ocean
Is my house.
I am the whale.
We bees built our
Houses, the hives.
I am a dog,
I live in the kennel.
Provided by my master.
We frogs live in the pond,
By our croaking noise,
We welcome our death
In the hands of the
Snake.
Though I am a bird,
I built my nest
with twigs and
soft things
to lay my eggs,
To take care of my
Babies.
My partner or myself
in turn sit on the
eggs to hatch.
I am bunny
and I like to live
In burrow.
I am a child,
I am brought up
At home,
with love and care.
