Off to the beach i go

THE DIARY OF A COVID-19 WALKER

PARTT 144 “Off to the beach i go”

We grew up in a village set up,
Waking up, often unwillingly,
At the self appointed hour of 5.AM
Or Akasheshe’kare Munonga..
To way-lay and hunt for wild rabbits,
Especially when the shy-moon was up
Half or full bright, in the sky…
The hyenas hawling insults,
Dancing and gigling behind bare,
Pointing, red anthills,
Before the lovely milking ritual,
That was never virtual…
 
Severally, the rabbits would escape,
Through Ndyamba’s bow legs,
For he could not get them gather, Togather..
Like his father,
He was found of singing awkwardly loud,
Before the full moon,
Especially that chargrin song,
When he way-laid the village wench,
Kamadirisa, omukazi womukabira!😹
For he boasted that he drunk on her,
As they enjoyed the green grass,
As thier bed!
I fantasised, melanchoulously…
Unknowingly☺️
 
The neighbours, especially Kasimoni,
Complained, albeit,
Could not bother or fathom,
Against the bare knuckle lads,
With Kafiti, the village Wag!
 
Today, off to the beach i go,
With Charles to chance on Charllotte,
Mulondo,with Nalongo,
Walking down Nakiwogo,
Feasting on Muwogo,
As Muwonge plays the flute..
The flute of avid dispair,
In this bewildering beauty,
Uganda Zaabu,
As you read this Zaburi..
