A Genuinely Silly Roman
By Mwaura Kimani

An extremely witless Roman,
Exhausted from his journey,
Was accosted by his Mummy,
To an army camp in Germany,
To get a nanny for his bunny,
But was busted by his granny,
For showing off his tummy,
And boasting ‘bout his money,
That was squandered by his honey,
And the rusty old gun Tommy,
If you were his dead-beat ninja granny,
Would you invest your money in a phoney?!
