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.
