Analysis of A bloody Valentine day!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I woke up with a bloody yawn
That turned to a bloody groan
Blinking my bloody sleepy eyes
Due to the bloody sun rays
From the bloody open window
Checking out the bloody phenomenon
I met the sight of a bloody curtain
A bloody vase with a rose
Of course bloody but sweet
Tempting a bloody bee outside
How could I have bloody missed to see
That the top color had bloody changed
From dark blue to reflecting blood
Oh! The bloody bloodies inside
Including my bloody panty!
Hop into my bloody slippers
Off into the washroom bloody next door
Only to terminate with a bloody tissue
Due to my bloody cholera
But why severe on a bloody morning?
My wife totters in blood stupidly
Been drinking the bloody wines
Applying the bloody lipsticks
Looking bloody ‘nyama choma’
Then she bloody tells me!
Oh! It’s a bloody valentine day!
