There was once a platypus 
Her name was Patty Hill
Her tail was like a beaver’s 
And her mouth like a duck’s bill 

She had two eggs that hatched into 
A little girl and a boy
She’d sweat out milk for them to drink
And sing them lullabies. 

She lived in a little den 
By the riverside 
And when she went to look for food 
With dirt she’d plug it tight 

She’d tuck her children into bed
While she went out to fish  
Shrimp and caterpillars 
Were her all time favourite dish 

One day she came home to find 
A mean old water snake
He was sniffing out her puggles
To put into his cake 
 
Patty Hill growled at him 
And stung him with her spur 
He got so scared he dropped his skin 
And slithered back to the river. 

So if youre ever by the lake  
And spy a beaver with a bill 
Be sure to wave hello to it 
It’s probably Patty hill

A wandering “desi” and a corporate chicken who’s flown the proverbial coop is what I currently am. Have chosen the sultry island of Sri Lanka for my wandering/ experiential activities. Writing something- anything really, has been on the bucket list for a great old while. Finally putting some pixel energy behind the cause! This blog is about a wide gamut of stories, opinions, ideas, characters, storms in teacups, extraterrestrials, food for the soul (and some not so much), space (of the cosmic and personal varieties), cutting edge psychoanalytic analyses, and sunsets (Dysania-struck so probably no sunrises!) – all presented to you from a wide array of coffee shops across my modest globe-trotting sojourns. Here’s to enjoying the ride together! https://www.facebook.com/Mahvash.Moht/ View more posts
