Nature dance
1.
By what ancient wisdom
Does the rooster tell dawn,
When moon mares snore away
In the twinkling bosom of spying skies?
Good morning America
Good morning Europe
Good morning Asia
Welcome Africa.
2.
What lore tutored the cock,
In the science of time telling?
3.
Tell me Nwalemu
Was it not an ant yawn ago
A mere twinkle
When you taught the sleepy wisdom of past dawns?
