Rhinoceros, buffalo, aaligator, fox and leopard! ! <br />Of the rain on my side to wait for you; <br />But, the snake came along with the words of war. <br /> <br />Lion, tiger, elephant, crocodile and the rabbit! <br />Of this rivder to cross in the land of my muse; <br />But, the eagle came along with the words of joy. <br /> <br />Drinking 'Palm-wine' and 'Pito' on this journey, <br />And like a philosophical colloquy that lasted into the wee hours! <br />But, the story of the weathger was also part of it. <br /> <br />Suddnely! ! A snake hurried across! <br />And darkness fell unto us all; <br />But this apple-pie and the creamed cake gave us hope, <br />And like the rice and chicken with pawpaw that we ate last night. <br /> <br />Enter into the world so sweet! ! <br />And like the bibulous man next door; <br />Just like the state of my mind on thisd long journey. <br /> <br />I am very artful to my words, <br />I am very mindful to my works, <br />I am very watchful on this road; <br />And to put things in the right place is like my sweet muse of love, <br />So, i always need this apple-Pie around for my strength.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/apple-pie/
