My Dog Poem by oliver phiri

Ginger my Ginger
Why are you waving your tail? Ginger!
I don’t really understand…all I know is that you are not out of hand
Because closer to me is where you always stand
So pure is your mind…
Your world is full of smiles….I can see I’m not blind
Ginger my Ginger…..
Why are you leaking my cheek?
When my girlfriend does that….its only when I give her money
Money to buy what’s on fashion….
That’s when she calls me honey…
A moment I’m neither boring nor lonely…that’s a time we are in harmony.
Ginger! My Ginger…
Why are you jumping on me?
When my boss does that…..its when a deal didn’t pull through
It’s always my fault…… when it’s a done deal…
He calls her friend for an office chill…
You see Ginger….. I’m always on the hill
I till….. And I mill
Sometimes I forget that I feel
I’ve got empty stomachs to fill….So I can’t take a pill…
Ginger my ginger you are so real…you are not like them.
You are such a marvelous dog
Ginger! My ginger.


MY Sunshine

Cindy, before you came to my life
It was windy
I couldn’t see clearly coz it was also dusty
Then it was rainy
And couldn’t walk properly, it was mady.
I met Mandy…but she just couldn’t mend it.
The storm ended when you came in my life, Cindy.
You are so sweet like ice-lolly and candy.
You turn me on gently and slowly.
Now I’m not sorry…I’m fine I can see clearly.
Its feels great that you are mine……
My sunshine.
