A grandson of Muchina
The man...

Home Is Home
No cat has a life,so enjoyable.
Like me cat Mawili of the Mwamba family.
I have learnt the art of cat life
I meow when need be
For here mice are just but museum keychains.

Daughter Of Acholi
I looked and wondered
Who is lady in purple
Mini-skirt almost showing nethers
She looks familiar
But
Here in the lowlands there no white ladies
She has her aura on
Her nose high to show pride
Ooh so majestic
But I guess I...
