I walked at the dock!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I walked at the dock
Meeting an old bloke
And started a talk
About a sea rock
He had a low chin
His mouth holding a grin
And his haggard face lean
Looking as though keen
I stopped by a crate
Held in loathful fate
Because it did skate
And knocked the gate
The man brought up his brow
In a manner that was slow
Because he came to know
The crate damaged the prow
