Here’s a book, son
Read, son, read more
Until the herds are
here with dusk
Learn, son, learn
Until the dews dance
with welcoming tunes of dawn
Run, son, run
Run from the shackles
of indolence
Let a father see
education take you farther
Here’s a leso, sweet little one
Stride in your
mother’s footpath
Learn cuisines, learn,
my sweet little one
For man seeks potency
from the belly
Eat, sweet little one,
eat
Fatten those buttocks
for vigor
Grow, sweet little
one, grow
Grow and give hope to
future cohorts
Make papa proud with
more herds.
