Debts

I ran away from debts
into the bush I dashed
lion saw me and came
top of a tree I went
snake smiled at me there
fright grabbed me by the neck
I shouted for help

The one I ran away from 
came running, gun in hand
he shoot lion, shot snake
and took me home
for a party

“This is a party of honor
a party of survival it is!
you ran away from me
but lion and snake got you
eat and rejoice”, he told me
“Never carry any debt again”
