Who so has whatso any,
O deem thou more than plenty,
Fair ‘tis enough fame to fetch,
No one has all of world bounty.
Does Pineapple plant flowers fetch?
Can Forest Flame fruit-bearing be?
Betel-leaf has fruits nor flowers,
Nature to no one all its grace showers.

sensitivity is killing humour,
actually that's wrong,
humour is linked to intelligence,
so if they fail to sea the funny sense
their probably dense,
which is easily confused with taking a fence....
see what i did there intents
fantastic suspence holds up tents
spastic pens roll ink-tensive ends
the lack of sense is the sense
it's a matter of intelligence
sexist is intelli-gent
or is it In-tena-lady
Trans-elligence
humour not evident

Katikati ya pango la upweke,
Najiona niko na wenge,
Kukata tamaa kuongezeka,
Fikra nazo kusononeka.
Natafuta pa kuponeka,
Pango hili kulikwepa,
Matumaini kutoweka,
Pangoni Niko gizani.
Ghafla mwangwi watoka wapi!?
Mwangwi huo wataka nini!?
Kumbe Mwangwi wa mapenzi,
Wanionyesha mwangaza.
Mapendano pasi masimango,
Ndio jadi ya mwangwi huo,
Mapambazuko ya hisia,
Pangoni nitoke hapo.
Nishakuwa na mapepe,
Pangoni siko tena,
Mwangwi huo wa mapenzi,
Wanishibisha mapenzi.

Kosa Lipi kukukosea?
Penzi Mbona waniteka!
Hisia sizo tetereka,
Kuni za huba kuchochea,
kambani kunifunga,
Penzi nisikutoke,
Hata usiponifunga,
Penzi siwezi ponyoka.
Mitetemo yenye huba,
Mapigo ya moyo kuchonyota,
Yanifanya kibogoyo,
Hali kuwa nna meno,
Niseme nini tena?
Penzi laniteka!
Kutekwa penzini,
Kutoroka siwezi.
Mtekaji ni laazizi,
Kwa Mapenzi simuwezi,
Kanifunga kwa hisia,
Minyororo yenye kopa,
Kutoroka mie siwezi,
Kwa mapenzi namuenzi,
Ameniteka milele,
Burudani yetu milele.

Getting old is no fun believe me - I thought it would just be a breeze
But now I have to wear 'tena ladies' cos I leak when I cough, laugh or sneeze
My husband now uses Viagra - I steal one when he doesn't see
Slip one in my first morning cuppa, stops my biscuits going soft in my tea
No longer have boobies like 'Jordan' they've drooped, sagged and gone south
It doesn't stop me from smiling, gleaming dentures are fixed in my mouth
I need glasses to find my glasses - they were sitting on top of my head
I've forgotten to turn on my hearing aid so I can't hear a darn word that you've said
I think someone said my memory is fading , That is a load of old tosh
No I haven't got a beer belly, My trousers shrank in the wash
