Born on the bank my school
Bathed in cool breeze of river Varaha
Fanned dry by coconut groves.
Blessing on the premises
A seasoned Exam-Pillaiyar.
Commencement of assembly my voice to lead
Followed by the rest in increased volume
Litanies dispersing the air
Penned the pupils in respective classes
Classrooms old and new and mine
Holding a 'Badam' tree at its feet
Clothed in caterpillars' splendour
And they creeping inside bit me for a year
Anyway to the bitten me
Flapped colourful wings my teachers
To fly up to catch the Rainbow
