Okuqukethwe
I-Easter stuffing
Phambi kwami, izinkomishi zamaqanda ezintathu.
Ezinkomishini zamaqanda ezintathu,
Amaqanda amathathu abekwe eqondile!
Lena yenziwe ngokhuni:
Ngeke ngiyinambithe!
Kodwa ithambile esihlathini sami.
Le ivuliwe...
Knock-knock, iqanda elithambile elibilisiwe,
Ukuthi ngidla nge teaspoon.
Lona ushokoledi:
Leli iqanda engilikhethayo.
Ngiwugcinela uphudingi wami.

Isikhukhukazi odongeni
Isikhukhukazi odongeni
Lalela amaqanda ayishumi nane amasha.
Kodwa ngenkathi ezalela amaqanda,
Ilanga likaNcwabakazi labashisa.
Isikhukhukazi odongeni
Uchamisele amaqanda ayishumi nane abilisiwe.
Kwaphuma izinkukhu
Eqine njengamatshe.
Besazalwa, baginqa
Kakhulu phansi emfudlaneni
Naphezu kokukhala kukamama wabo
Isililo emaphethelweni amanzi.
Kusukela lapho sibona,
Uhlanya lusadidekile,
Isikhukhukazi odongeni
Lowo udla isinkwa esiqinile,
Kusukela lapho sibona
- I-Picoti ne-Picota -
Isikhukhukazi ukuthi izikhathi eziyikhulu
Khwela odongeni wehle.
Ipentshisi kashokoledi
Kubhasikidi omncane oyisicaba
Amazambane athosiwe
Ngadoba ukudla okuphelele.
I-shrimp kanye ne-pike,
Imbaza nembaza,
Umkhomo noshaka,
Inkanyezi nolwandle,
Ilobster nofudu
Ngidle konke okuluhlaza!
