Head high up in
The clouds,
Only birds and
The sun dare look
Upon him from above.
Incessant blows
To the base
Thwack!! Thwack!!
In no time,
The giant lies at the naked
Feet of the all conquering one.
He pierces his side
Coaxing forth a white ooze
A cunning elixir
In watery fragments,
That which beguiles and
Ensnares the very essence of men.
Thwack!! Thwack!!
Gives birth to palm-wine,
The crafty swill
Which calls out to the
Wise and foolish alike.
Thwack!! Thwack!!
Goes the palm-wine
Tapper’s song in the depths
Of the dwellings of palm trees.
