Kanga Poems


Premium MemberA Lion named Lou

 There once was a Lion named Lou,
 who thought he was tougher than you.
     He got into a fight,
     On the wrong night,
 and got beat by a kanga-kung fu!

SPECIAL WATER FOR BAVILA KING

Special water 
for bavila king, 
As Magera 
      Mwene Kanga 
was always going 
to fetch water where Mugela 
and Mugadja 
rivers meet, 
Some Bavila in royal forest 
continued encouraging 
him  to fetch that 
special water for their king . 
Yeah, 
it is part of bavila tradition.
For bavila King to drink such special water, 
It is bavila tradition.
Yes ! 
some bavila traditional ceremonies
always take place at the joint of those rivers , 
Mugela and Mugadja.
It is one of the bavila mysterious  places
Which is in the Groupement of Kidjaga.

Easter Spoon Race

Matching skills in the Hundred Acre Place
big-hearted friend Rabbit made the least stir
handling the eggs for the yearly spoon race.
They all enjoy the holiday Easter.

Big-hearted friend Rabbit made the least stir
I’m hoping no egg will suffer a crack;
they all enjoy the holiday Easter.
Watch Pooh, Kanga, Piglet, they lead the pack.

I’m hoping no egg will suffer a crack
handling the eggs for the yearly spoon race.
Watch Pooh, Kanga, Piglet, they lead the pack
matching skills in the Hundred Acre Place.

Premium Member100 Acre Wood Folks

Piglet and Pooh seal their friendship on their daily walk.
They casually bring philosophy to their lively talk.
Share sage advice, each one with their own reflection.
Demonstrate their trust in each other’s friend recollection.

Their walks take them around 100 Acre Wood along the valley.
They leave bits of themselves along the way, as they diddle dalley
Christopher Robin sometimes catches up with them to chat.
They are always thrilled to see him, and Tigger, bouncing fat.

Let’s go cheer up Eyeore, Piglet suggests with a happy inclusive shout.
And Rabbit and Kanga? Pooh adds not wanting to leave anyone out.
Or it could just be the two of us, Piglet says, not wanting a crowd today.
They wander along the path, two friends, sharing their swag and sway.

Premium MemberKanga's Cheatin' Was His Unseatin'

Old Inky dinky parlay voo
Had a race with a green kangaroo
They stood side by side
Inky’s laces got tied
By jingo it caused a foo doo

Poor Inky fell over a murdle
Whilst kanga the murdle did hurdle
Kanga leapt on ahead
Inky’s twang how it bled
He mopped up the blood with a turdle

Kanga ignored poor Inky’s dilemma
And sped off like Pete Smockeremma
With a boing and a bounce
He did loudly announce
I’m the winner of this no problemma!

But Kanga was deemed to be cheating
The lace tying was his unseating
The squidgehawk of the race
Wiped the smile from his face
And Kanga got a blubber beating

The moral of this quindy story
No cheating to obtain false glory
Just ensure you squok fair
And make sure you’re aware
The squidgehawk’s judgement’s mandatory!

Smooth Talker

She's such a smooth talker
She could talk the rust right off of a nail
Given a chance at a Saturday dance
She could talk the slow out of a snail

I saw her wake up one morning
And talk the sun into sharing its shine
Then she went into the garden
And talked the melon right out of its rind

We went down to the ocean
Where she talked the blue out of the sea
That's the day I remember
She talked the love straight into me

My girl, she could talk a flower
Into giving its fragrance away
She could also talk the words out
Of a mute man with nothing to say

I took her to the park
She talked the kanga right out of the roo
That's the day she talked me
Into saying I love you

I've even seen my baby
Talk an ant out of its picnic lunch
One day on the side of the highway
A hitchhiker gave her his thumb

Whenever she plays storm chaser
This girl talks the wind out of its breeze
But she's not the only smooth talker
I talked her into marrying me

Mari Ya Abdalla - Kanga Bora

KANGA BORA MARI YA ABDALLA

After graduation son of Walla
i lived at a coastal town
where the people so hated the warmth..
they chose to move at nite
in the clothes they were born with..
Son of Walla i was dismayed

I called myself to counsel
and decreed a holy decree
son of my mother
i would not let this profanity- continue
Son of walla i took up a whip
and whip them i did son of walla...

Urging them with strokes of the whip
to know the need- value of clothing up
many a wild lass recieved... strokes of the cane
Son of Walla i brought back respect 
to a people who walked unclad
Son of Walla i geuss i did good

Mari ya Abdalla they called me...zealot..
some sneered behind my back.. but manners
imade sure they were taught
at the crack of the whip.. male and female
they feared me.. or was it my whip
son of walla i changed life for a lost people

Kanga Boora Mari ya Abdalla
ubora wa sitara ndo wema wa sitara
that was my message
delivered to a people
who felt warmth
instead of feeling manners

Christopher Robin

At a children’s book exhibit
With amazing things on view,
I was struck to find a case
Which had the one and only Pooh.

In the same display was Eeyore,
Roo and Kanga, even Tigger;
All were gifts to son from father
Every year as he got bigger.

Now the son, Christopher Robin,
Was the hero of the books
So his character was given
All his foibles, traits and looks.

Though it looked quite sweet and tender,
I once heard a different tale – 
That the son despised his father
Once those books were put on sale.

So it’s wise to then consider
What our kids will really think
If we choose to share their stories – 
They may someday need a shrink.

But it could have been avoided
Had the hero been called “Joe;”
Then Chris Robin could have basked in glory, 
Incognito, though.

Vanguard Ute

Carol Brown
Contest Name	My First Car 
Vanguard ute

I got meself a motor car, 
a little ute, a Vanguard,
I was seventeen, yes sah,
low flying and sliding here and there,

Me an brother Mark were a going fishing,
At 75 miles an hour, I hit a hi speed bend,
Feet of water lurked in a dip, unwitting,
It did us airborne send,

Flying on a cushion of water,
Guide posts were a flashing by,
Fascinating sort of, sorta,
Slow motion with a sigh?


After 50 feet we finally touched down,
Me  brother wouldn’t bloody speak
His forehead held a frown,
50 miles an hour, how neat,

No he didn’t dob me in,
Old car was still orright,
So then I took him sideways,
On a corner, not in spite.

I was young and stupid,
Much older now Kanga Roo Ted… 

Young n stupid flying low,
big ol thrill 4 johnson though,
having fun an sliding so,
me mates would not come a driving:)
