English poem | Poem for class 7 | The fabulous fabled silk road

Over mountains and deserts
through oasis and markets
past cities and towns
snaked the fabulous fabled silk road.

Weaving a web of routes and paths
all through Eurasia
was the fabulous fabled silk road.

Journeying from Xian to Baghdad,
traders, merchants and families
took the fabulous fabled silk road.

For two thousand years and more
trudging on winding paths,they traded
on the fabulous fabled silk road.

English poem | Foolish Questions | Poem for class 7

Where can a man buy a cap for his knee?
Or a key for the lock of his hair?
And can his eyes be called a school?
I would think - there are pupils there!

What jewels are found in the crown of his head,
And who walks on the bridge of his nose?
Can he use, in building the roof of his mouth,
The nails on the ends of his toes?

Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail-
If it can, well, then, what did it do?
And how does he sharpen his shoulder blades?
I'll be hanged if I know - do you?

Can he sit in the shade of the palm of his hand,
And beat time with the drum in his ears?
Can the calf of his leg eat the corn on his toe? -
There's somethin' pretty strange around here?
