Poem Meaning in Marathi (If Mice Could Roar)

या कवितेत कवी रस्किन बाँड यांनी एका काल्पनिक जगाची कल्पना केली आहे, जिथे सर्व गोष्टी उलट्या घडतात. उंदीर डरकाळी फोडतात आणि हत्ती आकाशात उडतात. झाडे जमिनीऐवजी आकाशात वाढतात.

कवी पुढे कल्पना करतात की वाघ बिस्किटे आणि वाइनवर जेवतात, तर सर्वात जाड माणसेही उडू शकतात. दगड गाणे गातात आणि घंटा कधीच वाजत नाहीत. शिक्षक टपालात हरवून जातात आणि कासव पळू लागते.

कवीच्या मते, जर एका गाण्याने पाऊस पडला आणि बंदुकीतून फुलांची वाढ झाली, तर हे जग खूप सुंदर होईल. या कवितेतून कवी सांगतात की कल्पना ही किती मजेदार आणि आनंद देणारी असू शकते.
