The story told

Filed under: poetry, mphutlane wa bofelo — ABRAXAS @ 5:06 am

June’’s baby died because

Infant meat wets the appetite

Of granny the wizard

Its mother is actually not dead

The old witch never touches a broom

But her house and yard are sparkling clean

At the unholy hours of the night

You can hear her furniture dancing

A grass-cutter moaning on her lawn

June’’s husband was failed by his heart

Seeing his wife and child die

At the hands of his own mother

Punctured him to pint-size

As for his diminutive

Former voluminous mistress

She’s dying from food poisoning

Everybody knows she started spewing blood

After eating food at June’s husband’s funeral

Her celebrity husband has lost weight

Due to being over stressed

By too many performances

And the invasion on his life

By the peeping Toms & prying cameras
