Beautiful Rifiki
Beautiful Rifiki


In the month of May
On a sunny day
Near bundle of hay
I saw Rifiki first
Suffering from thirst
Small Rifiki was very cute
Sat on the mat of jute
Its hairs were soft like silk
Slept after having some milk
Rifiki is a species rare
Seldom found in zoo or fare
Not a monkey not a cat
By mistake left its habitat
Ran and escaped from there
Now was safe under my care
Its skin was fair
I combed its hair
Everywhere in my house
It jumped like a lovely mouse
Entered in my study chamber
Like any family member
Went to the kitchen
Then came in the hall
Sat on the bed
On my call
It was very quick
Jumped to see ice-cream brick
Was fond of Idli and Dosa
Also loved eating Samosa
With its teeth
Pulled my sheet
Beautiful creature
You would love to meet
I kissed on its head
In my lap on the bed
It started licking on my palm
Under the fan it felt calm
Its acts were very funny
Day was getting less sunny
I gave it some sprout
In evening took it out
Rifiki was a living toy
Filled my life with joy
