From Their Daily Mouth

From their daily mouth
I hear them say
life has three ditches

Front dish is official
side dish  for sweetness
back dish seldom matters

Front, side and back dishes,
Are they truly necessary?
tell me, the world of the  she

front dish eaten with passion
side dish enjoyed with fear
back dish has red pepper

Think children of Africa
do not eat by the roadside
in public restaurant go, eat
