Analysis of The closing is nigh
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
The closing is nigh
With a violent sigh
To mean good bye
To all but why
I miss all the fun
We had in the sun
With the whole clan
Which lived in a barn
Tomorrow I will go trot
Without even a spot
On my sweet short
That I use for sport
I will wave my rouble
For him not to gamble
That I have his marble
Giving him trouble
