Down the dusty street carrying a 'pot' in his hand With ragged clothing Walks the poor orphaned boy Staring straight ahead of him With dark dreamy eyes Dreaming of his imaginary parents Giving him all that he desires Dear mama petting him with love His dear daddy making toys for him "Poor dear you must be hungry" Still in his day dreams; he stretched out his hands To receive the food, just to be greeted by a resounding "whack" Like the "quack" of a duck He wails and runs down the dusty street not with a 'pot' But with a bleeding head Poor, poor orphaned 'Almudu' boy with no Mama and Papa. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
