Dancing a special kind of waist dance
To impress those who watch from behind
And insult those who watch from front
Draws a battle line for a battle
Which must someday be fought by warriors
Who'll feast on flesh, bath with blood
Chanting war songs and beating war drums
To which you'll have to dance again
You lose your peace but know not
......
This morning my three year old sunshine
called on FaceTime from a continent away.
Appuch, have this coffee, she said proffering the cup
Appuch, her moniker for me, her homage to an alien lingo.
Appuch is so far away, her dad gently tried not to spoil her party,
But she is made of sterner stuff. It's 'pretend coffee', she declared.
Sure, said I, love to have coffee and some pretend cake too!!.
Yeaaaah, She crooned, here take this big piece of cake, Appuch.
