"In my kitchen, I will not have this chat", I said, as, into the oven they went. "Now I'm soft", said yam, an hour after that. "But I'm hard", I heard...

New Yam
New Yam Death brings life New, tender and green Earth brown, immaculate white The priest heralds her coming The town crier drums it The farmer dances to the market It's time to celebrate Let loose the masquerades Celestial visitors from yonder Let the melody of the odó Echo the birth of the new yam Like the birth of a newborn The drums are rolled out The market...
