Pat, Pat, pat

Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)

Free verse
Pat,Pat, Pat went my feet on the gritty gravel.
It was a quest of some sort.
What a sight for all to marvel!
Two feet competed so to report.
One ahead and the other fights to level.
This was a competition to the port.
No winner emerged in the gruel.
They are still competing so to report.

About this poem

Our competition is all in vain just the way feet compete
