A Little Night Music by Ruskin Bond

A Little Night Music by Ruskin Bond
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A book for verses from Ruskin Bond for a change instead of stories. It is as light and as entertaining as his books of stories.

Some excerpts from the book.

We are the babus
-------------
Soak the rich and harry the poor;
That's our motto and our law;
We are the rulers of this land,
We are the babus, a merry band,
Under the table, or through the back door,
We'll empty your pockets and ask for more!
We are the babus, this is our law -
Soak the rich and harry the poor.

What can we give our children?
-------------------------
What can we give our children?
Knowledge, yes, and honour too,
And strength of character
And the gift of laughter.
What gold do we give our children?
The gold of a sunny childhood,
Open spaces, a home that binds
Us to the common good ...
These simple things
Are greater than the gold of kinds.

These are just two of the many wonderful poems that stuck me.
