Analysis of Foodie Highway!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
A long wobbly highway
That is in a dark tunnel
No lights, no lamps
Just total darkness
Cars zoom past
In huge boluses
Directed and led by
Muscular convulsions
Forward stop forward
Down the winding highway
Until you reappear
At the stomach stage
Plop! Slosh! Dosh! Splatter!
At the flushing flood
Full of verminous waters
And there drowns Foodie car!
