Analysis of That’s rich richard!

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



He wears shaggy and baggy.
Chains and chains of ‘chains’.
With a heavy chronometer,
And exotic shoes from abroad!

He drives a car fast,
To show his rush for pleasure,
Either to measure a suit,
Or buy Yankee made garbs!

His girlfriend…my friend!
You won’t believe it!
But she has countless faces,
Changed like a child’s nappy!

He holds ‘em on the waist,
Close beside his heavy pocket,
To remind her of the goal,
Pleasure for plenty of pesa!

When they disappear in the house,
They eat and drink ‘fat’!
And to wind up the party,
We only hear bed-creaks!

That’s Rich Richard!
