Man O Man!
When without money,
eats vegetables at home;
When has money,
eats the same vegetables in a fine restaurant.
When without money, rides bicycle;
When has money rides the same ‘exercise machine’.
When without money walks to earn food
When has money, walks to burn fat;
Man O Man! Never fails to deceive thyself!
When without money,
wishes to get married;
When has money,
wishes to get divorced.
When without money,
wife becomes secretary;
When has money,
secretary becomes wife.
When without money, acts like a rich man;
When has money acts like a poor man.
Man O Man! Never can tell the simple truth!
Says share market is bad,
but keeps speculating;
Says money is evil,
but keeps accumulating.
Says high Positions are lonely,
but keeps wanting them.
Says gambling & drinking is bad,
but keeps indulging;
Man O Man! Never means what he says and never says what he means…
Life is not about what
you couldn’t do so far,
it’s about what you can
still do.
Wait n dont ever give up…
Miracles happen every
day…
Ksh. 100 seems too much
to give a beggar but it
seems okay when its
given as tip at a fancy
restaurant.
After a whole day of
work, Hours at the gym
seem alright but helping
your Mother out at home
seems like a burden.
Praying to God for 3 min
takes too much time but
watching a movie for 3
hours doesn’t.
Wait a whole year for
Valentine’s day but we
always forget Mother’s
day.
Two poor starving kids
sitting on the pavement
weren’t given even a slice
of Bread but a painting of
them sold for thousands of shillings.
Eeeeerrrrrrrr… Going to look for Arimis
when he has more money he eats chicken…
when he has little money he eats chicken products (eggs
when broke he eats like a Chicken. . .

Today I did my share
In building the nation.
I drove a Permanent Secretary
To an important urgent function
In fact to a lunch at the Vic.
The menu reflected its importance
Cold bell beer with small talk,
Then fried chicken with niceties
Wine to fill the hollowness of the laughs
Ice-cream to cover the stereotype jokes
Coffee to keep the PS awake on return journey.
I drove the Permanent Secretary back.
He yawned many times in back of the car
Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked,
Did you have any lunch friend?
I replied looking straight ahead
And secretly smiling at his belated concern
That I had not, but was slimming!
Upon which he said with seriousness
That amused more than annoyed me,
Mwanainchi, I too had none!
I attended to matters of state.
Highly delicate diplomatic duties you know,
And friend, it goes against my grain,
Causes me stomach ulcers and wind.
Ah, he continued, yawning again,
The pains we suffer in building the nation!
So the PS had ulcers too!
My ulcers I think are equally painful
Only they are caused by hunger,
Not sumptuous lunches!
So two nation builders
Arrived home this evening
With terrible stomach pains
The result of building the nation –
– Different ways.
