Poem about Swati's name

This was written by Ashish on our trip to New Zealand and Australia in 1996. He has to write one for Agastya.

"One meaning of my name is a star constellation,
the other meaning of my name is a Dew Drop,
However, there is a more poetic meaning to my name for which I have to tell you a poem-
Every once in a while
Say 100 years or so
On a star called Swati
A dew drop appears
It falls to the Earth
And what do you know
It gets in an oyster
And that's how pearls grow"
