A kitty’s soft purr
endearing murmur;
Happiness so pure
leads me to grin;
That very slow blink,
perfect nose so pink;
My trusty sidekick
knows how to win;
You sleep beside me
lounging lazily
or run playfully;
It doesn’t cease;
Lo fi existence,
no knowledge of tense;
Fun’s bound to commence,
cats rhyme with peace.

How not to steal from a mamba
That came to your house
To check on your children
How a little snake mamba
Comes in like robin hood
Asking children
Have you eaten anything good we can share
Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim
And maybe a little portion of food
Left for him everyday
Even in your thoughts
And blessing from God
The Little mamba moves away
Singing dancing
I’ve enchanted them all
To give a little to time and thought
To animals on this earth
Living and struggling for food

They’re coming for your little ones now.
You think they won’t? They have the know-how.
They’ll slip right in, not raise an eyebrow.
Stay on your guard and never kowtow.
It’s not that we are trying to scare you, dear.
Just be prepared, ‘cuz we warned you, ciao!

Child asks Mom why he says, God show me light?
Why he is crying, has he lost eye sight?
Can't he see the God before him, so bright?
Does he not know praying in candle-light,
with pure mind does help to feel HIM aright.
Being a child, if I can see the God
why he can't be free, to see HIM right?

How not to steal from a mamba
That came to your house
To check on your children
How a little snake mamba
Comes in like robin hood
Asking children
Have you eaten anything good we can share
With a simple prayer
Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim
And maybe a little portion of food
Left for him everyday
Even in your thoughts
And blessings from God
The little mamba moves away
Singing dancing
I've enchanted them all
To give a little to time and thought
To animals on this earth
Living and struggling for food.

come to me , my little friend,
Why are you still crying?
My mother is very poorly-
I fear she may be dying?
Please don't cry-little boy,
your mother is going to heaven.
She will be an Angel-
And her soul will be forgiven .
so his mother embrace
her little boy ,
As she closed her tired eyes .
The angels come down
to meet her causing the
boy a big surprise.
the little boy heard a voice-
the voice came from heaven,
His mother is now an angel-
And the boys is now on a mission.
He is now grown man and embarks on a mission.
He is married to a girl who loves and respect his
determination.
He will always be so
loyal and he loves his
departed mother and his
family are his world
they now have each other.
the little baby born,
in his house, hir wife make
his world beautiful.
