Analysis of My brother’s radio!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
My brother’s radio my friend;
Thunders and roars
Whispers and mumbles
Croaks and groans
And he gives it a blow
It squeaks and squeals
Grunts and grumbles
As he rants and yells
Flinging and reeling curses
Oh! If it had large floppy ears
It would have been dead deaf
Coz he always howls insults
Because it will not sing
Sweet lovely melodies
Inside it has cockroaches
That my brother broaches.
