What Fascinates Me

This music that is playing on this bus
Is robust, cheerful and energetic.
African beat if there ever was,
To give the journey a touch of magic.

It brings pep into my African foot,...
Like I could stand and start moving
And start people wondering what's afoot
That an adult man could do such a thing!

Yet a work colleague of mine
Did exactly that the other day.
He was clearly feeling fine,
In the passage dancing away!

Such is the character of our job.
Very deep its lows can be.
It has actually caused people to sob
And can make one feel really shabby!

Therefore, when a good moment comes
The likes of us can feel elated,...
Can take the floor without any qualms
When by music he is liberated!
