The Gallivanting Mother

Where goes thou again? You woman of low esteem Walking North, coming South Moving West, running East Where goes thou again? A fortnight ago You were with the drunken farmer Eating his little produce In unneeded appreciation, you gave him a son Where goes thou again? Stay put you gallivanting mother Stop spraying your babies about Like a withered tree in its dry season Where goes thou again? You unstable mother Every man's house has a seed of you Your paradise of pleasure A travelling path to any man you see Where goes thou again? Leaving your children at every home Ninety Children for ninety-nine husbands Ninety-nine husbands in ninety days Where goes thou again? Stay put and take care of your children Stop moving about And let your waist bead stop roaming. 22-04-2017
