ORDEAL
What's your name girl?
I like your smile,
your gisty walk
reminds me of the
Graceful giraffe
Will you marry me?

Yes but dowry expensive
Less than five cows
father won’t agree!
I love you girl
hope built on nothing less
You are more than thousand cattles

Been over six years
Since we got married
keep beating
the hell out of me
What happened to
My smile, yes
Graceful walk

Did I bore you
Three beautiful daughters
Was it my problem?
To give birth to girls only
Tell me, dear husband
Rumours are ripe
looking for second wife
what’s with the beating!
