A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Eritrea.
No,
Eriterea’s not too large.
It’s by a sea
that says it’s red
On which
you’ll see both ship and barge—
And where Old
Moses, so I read,
Divdied
waters (with some aid).
It had a
bloody civil war,
But
independence finally made
In 1991. That
door
Of freedom
opened up right there,
The Horn of
Africa. That place
Remains what
it became—and where
Some Hope
remains, in any case.
All kinds of
wildlife can be found—
From lions,
hares—a wolf that’s gold!
So be so
careful, walking ’round.
You might not
live till you are old!
