Yes, We Had Yarns Too Poem by Charles Jagongo

Yes, We Had Yarns Too



Yarns that tickled and awed
Yes the people, around Lake Victoria
As one
Of two wrestlers who wrestled
Till dust rose and injured eyes of a cloud
That it rained heavily and only thunder
Separated them.
Of
A snake that was so green-eyed with others
That it would swallow every beautiful snake around
And that it swallowed its own beautiful tail then its own self whole,
That it disappeared in air.
Of
An ogre that ran and laughed so hard
That grains it had swallowed whole would hit the ground,
Mixed with saliva would geminate very fast,
And farmers would harvest as they ran after very fast
So
We had yarns too
As Pecos Bill who rode the cyclone
And Paul Bunyan who created the great lakes
Yes we had Yarns too
Yarns that tickled and awed
Yes the people, around Lake Victoria
