Duly inspired my Mshairi and Mental, I have to stand up and be counted
There once was a chap named Christopher,
who filled a good deal of a sofa.
Who one day was told,
put your plans on hold
if you want to travel to Britain.
Increase that day did his sweating,
as he sat there sullenly regretting,
saying sadly to himself,
“Oh how I am unlucky,
not to buy a new rubber ducky“
Christopher thought it was a disaster,
that Kenyans were rolling in laughter,
singing “rub-a-dub dub,
you fell in a tub,
and now your body is a bump“
And enter Mwakwere the Minister,
looking disjointed, shifty and sinister,
who created a whole mess,
on the strength of an SMS,
that hostages in Iraq where freed.
He opened his mouth and let loose,
and put his neck straight in a noose,
and left no doubt,
that he really knows nought,
when it comes down to diplomacy.
So Christopher assembled his lawyers,
and said to us all “Look before ya,
I’m really as sure, as I know my manure,
that very soon, I hope, I’ll be off to Europe
And run my ministry remotely“

Great piece of writing…i love the rubber ducky line!
Oh, everybody but me seems to have their brains on – ahhh.
Very nice and funny M – and oh, was he planning to run his ministry remotely by SMS?
hilarious!

Yani that was hilarious. There seems to be an ‘M’ Trinity of limerick brilliance lurking about….
@Maitha – LOL!
Great piece M, great piece… Especially loved the “good deal of a sofa” bit – LOL
@maitha
LMAO
If an MP tried to think the response would be “Unrecognized command. This device has committed a fatal error and will be immediately shut down”
@Maitha:you’re the silent type that has tonnes of humor stored within
@M:Good One!
Thank you again!
As I surf the blogosphere learning first-hand details of the sorry mess large portions of the world are in, I always enjoy your ability to be informative and humorous at the same time.
I ALWAYS get a good laugh from reading tHiNkEr’s rOoM!
HA HA! He He!
Thanks again.

Very funny M! and well said..
Loved this! Esp the “…filled a good deal of a sofa” and “…as sure as I know my manure” parts- V. apt!
What fun I am having reading all these limericks. They should be published in the Kenyan newspapers.
M, that was just brilliant. The sofa line… PRICELESS!
@Anon
What?
Keep this impressive blog going. Great work!
This may be of interest to you cartoon animals
Much info about cartoon animals
“I hope i will off to europe and run my ministry bed ridden i guess thats what he saying coz he goes there when he is “sick”..
Pretty hilarious, M, except for one tiny, technical detail. Limericks follow the rhyme pattern AABBA. Just thought that needed a mention.
Hey Thinker!
You’ve been quiet too long… Wassup?
[...] Despite spirited defences from the fruit of their loins few Kenyans are able, despite spirited efforts, to differentiate an MP from a pile of powdered water, an oven constructed entirely of butter and a waterproof sieve. Most people I know regard MPs with the same regard as the British Immigration now regard one Christopher Ndarathi Murungaru. [...]
[...] Managed the impossible task of being despised wherever his large sweaty frame made an appearance. Has the dubious distinction of being unwanted both at home and overseas [...]
