AMLANJYOTI GOSWAMI

Where grapes come from

We had no home then
There was no mama


Once your papa small as you
Ate a lot of grapes green red and purple


He ate so many we thought he was hungry
Then he threw it all up


We took him to a doctor he said no worry
It is all out now


The grapes they went flying out of his mouth
Some became trees some birds some they say


Turned into grapes
The ones you and I are eating now
