The river talks a lot, it infuriates the lake The sun stole from the lake, and made the sky cry Which made the sun sad, but the plants loved its mistake Because the soil soaked in the tears, and never asked why And all was well for a while, till they came scratching like a rake And the soil felt the pain, just before it could dry That’s when it realized, it was used as a drake And so the grass grew, so the cows wouldn’t die So they fed on the greenery, and fell asleep wide awake Which suggested they were full, and this pleased the Masai Which pleased the rival tribe, who want to raid and to take So they examined their prize, while sharpening the assegai Till the assegai shone, to prove the iron wasn't fake And the blade was too sharp, it could easily split a fly So they threw the assegais, and made the maasai shake As the grazing went kaput,The moran decided to defy As the herd was for dowry, and a great husband he would make And a great warrior he was, and his skills he’d apply So he prayed the gods fill him, Like the river fills the lake With the fury of a cyclone, the energy as it flows by But the river talks a lot, it infuriates the lake The sun stole from the lake, and made the sky cry
