Kesav Venkat Easwaran - Inward Outward Sights

2014-11-10 4 Dailymotion

Of late, I have quit
Telling stories to
My niece’s daughter Tit;
At age around eight,
She seems to be a super brain
Her thoughts rapid swift

It all started (or ended up?)
With me telling her one day
The story of the elephant
And blind men a few
Who discussed
How they felt
The animal they knew

Soon after my narration
She asked me: Uncle!
Tell me how few persons
With given eye sight
Would explain an elephant
They have never seen
