Who Can

Who Can?

 Paints a Fulani maiden
 With creamy calabash hawking 'fura de nunu',
 A tall nomad, pole stretches on his long shoulders
 Hold in place with hanging fingers like broom,
 Being on a nowhere long way, wave on a transistor;
 A cajole broad face,
 Scowling amongst bushy extended beard;
 A narrow umbrella sombrero
 Tip at right elfish ear,
 Shepherding towering cattle in perpendicular;
 Munching down uppermost greens, with heighten horns
 Traveling in lengthen distance,
 Who can?
 Who can?
 Depict heavenly masquerade typhoon by gods;
 Leaping, flying with flashing whips,
 The satyr opened dark tunnel throat
 And fangs all coloured with crimson;
 Dear deer full of affected blinks,
 Innocent mirth on polish promise horns.
