'Acalan Set To Win Poem by Margaret Alice

Mandingo seemed to snowball,
client call, please note, it is not
Mandingo, but Mandiko we want,
oh, heavens above, thought Alice,
what have I done?

Did a Google search, Mandiko is
the name of mountainous terrain,
Mandingo is the language, search
still on track, snowballing nicely,
spreading like wildfire

From here to America, though our
own ACALAN* looks set to win the
race….
