Sweet beans
Molded round like circle
Dancing round red fire
Hot liquid
Boiling and swelling
Blossom round
Like full moon
Long queues
Waiting patiently
At your doorsteps
People lick fingers
Vibrating with the sounds of:
Ta! ta! ta! ta! ! !
People lick fingers It shows that 'akara' is a very sweet food. The people cannot help but lick their fingers. Licking of fingers is an African way of showing that a meal is very sweet.
