Come take me quick
From these jumbled jungle jaws
Of hypo-critic ferret in the burrow
A bestial barbarian.
I saw her quaff a hunk
Imparting intoxicating amalgam
In the candle lit galarious table
At the petunia exotic tourist hotel.
At home, she had no motherliness
For a local breed!
She fried the weed vegetable
Plucked from the un-weeded path
And served it with a turd of thumb Ugali.
There are beds,
I spread on goatskin
A liced spurted floor.
There is a feast,
I scramble for the aftermaths-
The remnants with the pets
Under the vastry table.
Come take me quick
From this woman,
This woman, my aunty!
My uncle’s wife.
