The Inswelaboya Poem by Gert Strydom

In the dark moonless night
the gigantic insect,
the Hairless One sneaks around,
where it prowls the African bush
with its glowing red evil eyes
which see clearly in the dark,
with its jaws with the fiery fangs
that does slam open and shut
while it tries to bite someone in the heel
and when bitten a person falls down,
is almost dead
while that monster drags him
right through the dark bushes
to its lair in a dark cavern.
