Substitute For Ice
I
had
realised
that
the
size
of
the
ice
was
nice,
but
the
price
didn't
recognise
my
sacrifice.
So,i
had
to
compromise
the
ice
for
some
rice;
to
minimise.
But
some
spies
came
to
join
Me
In
my
rice;
promising
to
buy
some
ice
after
the
rice.
But
In
Their
eyes;
I
saw
lies.
So
i
refused
to
harmonise,
but
dey
criticised,
and
threatened
to
jeopardise,
if
i
didn't
give
dem
my
rice.
I
also
realised
that
dey
had
devised
a
wicked
device
to
my
demise
But
i
was
wise.
So
i
specialised
a
plan
and
to
their
surprise;
I
took
off
with
my
rice
for
miles;
to
get
somewhere
nice,
And
enjoy
my
rice...
