A Hungry Fire

She blew a goodbye kiss to mummy And off into the school she scampered Exchanging pleasantries and last night's stories And looking forward to dusk to get pampered A busy day it was at school Anticipating the end of day Oh! yes the bell finally came through Off to the bus as it led the way An excited mother has made a dish And smiles at the newly bought party dress My daughter would try this after her stew of fish Once she is home and undressed Alas ! the awaiting inferno Beings are burnt to worthless ash With wailing whispers and twisted groans Oh mummy! oh mummy! the fire comes in a flash Still the waiting mother,waits but in vain Oblivious to her daughter's severe pain Until the news is brought to light And it did leave her in such a fright With melancholy she beholds the cremation Yeh! Moremi! my only daughter Has become a fuel for incineration Lost and vanished in a hungry Fire
