The pickering of pickle pie
Of pickle as pickled could be
My liver to be exact
Pickled to disbelief
Of proportionately exorbitantly larger than it could be
But what is it
To be exactly like me
In all fathoms of to be
Inwardly moving through scale topple less trees
Green In envy I see
Far reaching I see
Resting on top of my tree
But what about pickles that echoes and bellows below
All in time please
I’m in need of my yellow phone
To sanction the life out of those
Those are to be known
Unfortunately for those who can’t seem to follow the pickle by the sea
I have nothing to give you but a tireless rant of nonsense
So follow your foe or foe’s
As I will stay here on top of my tree eating my pickle pie

What I had luckily caught
One exorbitantly bought,
Long after I had it brought:
A salmon by a crowd sought
And for it bitterly fought...
Many bidders voicing their thought
Nearly making it a sport,
Save the one who had been taught
To huge sums pay on a spot
So as to remain on top,
As things become goddamned hot
To Plain Delay not a lot
And fast leave before he’s shot

There once was a little mighty ant
Who was extravagant and arrogant
Known to be exorbitantly militant
She was so combatant and petulant
They nicknamed her My Commandant
One day she came across an elephant
Elegant and obviously dominant
She started on her typical rant
Then stopped and decided to recant
Both agreed it was all very insignificant
They chatted, it turned out the elephant
Was actually the ant's aunt
Suddenly the intolerant ant
Has become cheerful and exuberant
And now routinely breaks out in chant

School is a super market
the proprietor hires the premises
prepares parking yard for customers
pays exorbitantly in taxes
goods are labeled with prices
customers pick the affordable
no negotiated interactions
sales executives guide and monitor
guards check out security
ensuring no cheating
preventing any shop-lifting
rich clients eat from restaurants
the rest go hungry, thirsty
what customers carry home
is not the concern of proprietors
money must speak

Malawians are feeling the pain
Interest rates at banks jigged to 40%.
Cost of living demands a lot to survive
Our salary tranquil
Robbers terrorizing us
Wives spending time at water holes
Instead of caring families
Subsidy is sand
Instead of fertilizer
Pay in toilets charging exorbitantly
Just for a visit.
These are worthy going on streets
