A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Zambia.
We’re in the z’s,
And so the “pretty please”
You used to ask
If this infernal task
Were over now?
Well, I’m not sure or how
To let you know
It’s almost time to go.
But Zambia?
I guess that I foresee
A place to stop
Not at the very top
But in the south—
I hear by word of mouth—
And Internet—
Of Africa—you bet!
Victoria Falls
Is there—and how it calls
The visitor—
Or the inquisitor
Who wants to know
Where he can find that show
Of water, light—
He really wants it right.
This landlocked land
With many wonders grand
Oh, cats it’s got—
And some, I know, are shot.
It’s far—I know.
But still I’d like to go.
Yes, there’s a place
I’d love to show my face.
(Though not to lions!)
