The Map I've Been Keeping Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

The Map I've Been Keeping



The map I've been keeping

'Twas one of those random visits,
Visits to Google,
Then I came across it,
Took a press, network was in wrestle!
Said I should wait,
Patiently, I thought of a Barbie's Diamond Castle
By a wink in a bit,
I could come to admit,
It took longer for Google to submit!
Finally, after an hour
The map was submitted!
'Twas now fully loaded!
complete, I shouted!
Click, ring text alert
'Your data has been depleted'
I smiled!
Now my worries were done!
I now knew I'd find you!
I've planning to reach for Ug plane
Name being Eugene, I'd go insane!
I couldn't withhold my tears,
So, I've extended my eyelashes
And the map I've been keeping...
Is about to burn to ashes!
Clearly you don't need me!
There's no reason to keep hoping!
You've found a better place!
A better seat!
Why should I keep thinking?
Thinking you'd love to see my face?
Have a good treat,
I'm throwing away,
The map I've been keeping...
