FLOCK TESTIMONY
FLOCK TESTIMONY
A tapper had a friend
Himself a tapper too
Into the swamps of Ntong Edong
They went on a tapping spree
Up and down the raffia palms
They called out kukuruku
Kukuruku was replied
To keep a close contact
One fell down from the height
To the muddy wild plant floor
He called out Kukuruku
With speed, came down his friend
To the rescue as communicated
On Sunday testimony
He needed an interpreter
For the guest of foreign tongues
But he volunteered to convey
In English he couldn’t speak
What you hear is rumble jumble
As he licked his lips along
Up up to the teteri-mountain
Edong asin nkwai
Teteri-mountain Abasi Ibom enyong
Only Akukuruku…
