He Ate A Promise! Poem by Job Ombati

Mr John Developer has developed a queer behaviour.
He swallows things!

He's swallowed a cow dip.
The bellows of a fouled bull,
Come from his belly!

Last year,
He swallowed a promise.
In his political campaigns,
He'd said he was clean;
Clean as wool.
He'd build a dispensary
In record one week.
Three years on,
The dispensary is complete;
But in his stomach.

They said KRA is calling-
He was at Kenpisky
Enjoying egg rolls -
He swallowed a toothpick!

He now looks sickly!
