Village Champion
Village Champion
He beats his chest as the drum rolls,
the story of a great warrior never told,
but now listen attentively as it unfolds,
wild as a Buffalo,smart as a great Ape,intelligent as a Chimpanzee,
skillful as a Hyena,strong as a Gorilla,dangerous as a Black Mamba and fast as a Falcon.
His only weapons are a bow and arrow,a short sharp knife and a club.
He never sleeps, yes he never sleeps, he always says, a bushy head is owned by a lazy man.
His muscles are well built and always in shape,he has a chest as hard as a tortoise back.
Training day and night and has the eye of an Owl which enables him to see in the dark, not knowing when the enemies will attack.
This warrior dwells in the deepest forest of the village, he is only seen when he comes to present the heads of the enemies he has killed to the king.
How does he feed? Good question, every warrior has the qualities of a hunter,he feeds on bush animals and edible plants,also he heals the little wounds he obtains from every attack with herbs.
He is the main target of every war troupe from other villages. His record has never been broken. He fights against hundreds of warriors and has no fear of been killed.
Victory is always his. His name is never known,due to that everyone calls him village champion..
