Analysis of Hallots!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
They give you an eye deception
Hoping for a kill to slain
They nag by winking and grinning
However it’s when you’re wealth stinking
Short skirts that are raised
Showing their thighs bared
Should you show as though interested
Shockingly they will strip for you naked
They are full of writhing vigor
That arouses every man’s clamor
Thence the heart seduced with glamour
Thanking your stars for the honor
When the cravings are met
Whence will you fret
Whether it was worth it
Whisking your cents
Beware of these decoys of affection
Before you are swayed with seduction
Because it has been their occupation
Back to the dawn of civilization
