Half Seer Of Rice Poem by Arvind Srivastava
Half Seer Of Rice
Half a seer (kilogram) of rice was cooked
The old man ate - the old woman ate
The Lengra ate - the bauki ate
The dog ate munching
Half a seer of rice was not cooked
The old man did not eat, the old woman did not eat
Lengra remained hungry, Bauki remained hungry
The dog remained hungry, the goats remained hungry
The one who had gone to bring rice
Has not returned till today!
