Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
So Fortunately Unfortunately
When in written
English or American
I can thus find
A poem that does
Not at all use:
The, of, and, to, a, in,
That, is, I, it, for
And of course "as"
Nor does such
A rare poem ever rhyme
It is then
In awe
I shall softly wheeze
The often used
African word
W O W !
