Caroline Poem by Wensislaus Mbirimi

A name makes every man proud
A good name makes a girl more proud
I heard of you before I saw you
The name Caroline already had drawn I to you
To Caroline I write this rhyme
To remind me of her every time
Former workmate but now friend
Only girl I know who no follow trend

Caroline, chocolate complexioned and shy smiling
Sweet voiced always rousing without failing
Ponytail hair styled was Caroline
Muffin loving, pork pie tolerating and sadza loathing
Computer animated, industrious & social life slouching
Focused woe betiding any in her way
Carol taught I; what, where, to who & how it to say

To greener pastures Carol went
From thence to Wensy friendship is still sent
For you Carol hope roses will always be red
Hold the handle and give them the blade
A promise is only comfort to a fool
Chart your course and be cool
Plan for the future, future won't plan for you
Be cruel coz people take your kindness for weakness
Still for me I hope you retain the sweetness.
