Crackle crackle pot and kettle; <br />how the water boils slow. <br />Crackle crackle dust come settle, <br />And hear the singing down low. <br /> <br />Bubble bubble burn and boil, <br />Ancient as the deep blue sea. <br />Ain't no bubble wrapped in foil; <br />floating high and delicately. <br /> <br />Waffle waffle stealing eggs; <br />steady aiming upon his head. <br />Waffle waffle-crack goes the egg, <br />And I shoot the poor dog dead. <br /> <br />Empty crackling pots and kettles, <br />Burning bubbles in the sea, <br />An egg stealing dog now dead <br />hears no crackling, only singing in his head.<br /><br />Nkululeko Mdudu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-hear-the-singing/
