Analysis of Banging the evening famish!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
An evening preluded by;
A meager lunch meal,
As though saving a dear bill,
Amounting to millions!
A brief breakfast,
As though we are in a fast,
Awaiting dear God for explanation;
‘’Assuredly we ate just a little!’’
A jingle of the money hold
A response heartbreaking
Alas! I have only twenty bob!
Aggrieving on the poverty, I use it all
A bunch of three ‘mandazis’
And a recently ripened avocado
A plastic bottle of clear water beside
Amounting to a delicious crescendo
Banging the evening famish!
