Golden Key
In a bizarre way I stood awhile
Watching the unfolding melodrama
Got the hint:
Our Queen's Lady in Waiting
Has misplaced our golden key.
Like an eagle must she fly
From Gabon to Gambia
From Mali to Morocco
Search for the snake, the poisonous snake, rip open its bowels
To find the African key.
Our Queen would have to wait
Outside the palace
Would she delay for days
And when the king arrives
Back early from Europe
What would he say?
These folks who do not believe in divorce
What would you say?
Should our king
A royal fray begin?
Who could tell the king
Our most powerfully revered king?
Who could tell the king:
Our Queen's Lady in Waiting
Has his most cherished instrument
misplaced?
Now has the journey began
From Gambaga to Paga
From Awudome to Avetime
To hunt for the black monster
Who is keeping our king's key
In its dark belly.
