The Goats' Invasion

The alarm shouted on my ear The day is six thirty a.m young so is the air I prostrate twiceand pray To God to make me a predator and not a prey I dust the house and mob the floor Wash the plates as there is no flaw I fed the poultry and allow them to reign Spread the grains as there is no rain I fetch petrol and ten buckets of water Wash the car as i leave the warming till later My mum cooks beans and ot corn-pap It encouraged me as it makes me clap I am told to direct and deliver a message orally I am so tired as i got it aurally I run madly and i conveyed it to the Wright His dog gave me a chase as the message was not right I walk home gently and i aim not to blunder I think I am dead as i thought of nought save hunger Without feeding back i took my brush and my bath Half naked i dashed to the kitchen as i have damned the earth As my mouth watereth hunger was my mood But Lo! the Goats ate my food.

Haba! if i were you, i would sue the erring goats to the Kitchen Court, where they would be sentenced to life imprisonment in the belly, with no option of fine! Great work. Hilarious! greet adeleke for me.
