Muyonga by Owen Habel

Muyonga has finally found
The love of his life!
He is proud to be her husband,
And she's proud to be his wife.
He will now live in her castle,
And drive her princely car.
He will kiss her wrinkled lips,
And manicure her aged nails...

Muyonga has finally married
The apple of his of his eye...
But the crust of his heart
Has an itching scar!
His wife's chest is breast-less!
Her flower petal is lifeless.
When she walks, she uses crutches
When she reads, she wears glasses
Muyonga is in problems

Muyonga broke the hearts
Of our tender village maidens...
But I will console them today.
I will tell them that the apple
Of Muyongas' eye is toothless.
I will tell them that she's
Thoroughly thin,
I will tell them that her face
Has been crumpled by furrows
Of old age.
I will make sure they empathize
With Muyonga.
