The Grand-Tale Poem by Titto Mutunguti

A man built huge house
Furnished its interior with life
He then bought a beautiful bed,
But he had no wife

He then bought a stool,
And utensils too,
Unfortunately, its only the regular he could cook,
because he had no wife.

So he went out for a wife search,
At the market place and the church.
In villages and the town.
still, he could not find a wife,
But girls, travellers of life.
Who were too vibrant to settle down.

He then had a brilliant thought.
Good wifes come from God,
He said,
All had to do was to pray and wait.
for perhaps good wives were out of stock.

But then God is full of wonders!
This beautiful fact could not stand missin out on a pleasant opportunity.
It could not spare the old man from wonder thoughts.
Would his wife drop directly from the sky?
And how would he receive her?

One lucky day as he returned from the farm.
He found a beautiful angelic lady
seated under his favourite tree,
There and then he knew it is done.
It was nothing like love at first sight,
For it had been written.
The Oldman received her like a wife he had once lost.
Grandpa told me that the lady never left the house! !
