The detailed online profiles of those nitwit Oompa Loompas that are our MPs on http://www.parliament.go.ke/ were not totally taken down. You can enjoy reading about their qualifications, ranging from George Saitoti’s PhD, MSC, BA, right down to Njenga Karume’s SMS, ETC, LMAO at this page they forgot to take down.

A Sad Kind Of Funny

Posted September 9th, 2005 in Poetry by M

Sitting here, by these windows,
looking out into the night,
wondering as the wind blows
will we ever get it right.

It’s a sad kind of funny,
a funny kind of sad,
when people so together
can be so very far apart.

Watching as the clouds
wipe the tears of the skies;
feeling the shrouds of dread
drifting slowly over my eyes.

It’s a sad kind of funny,
a funny kind of sad,
when people so together
can be so very far apart.

Countless place and countless times
I’ve reached out for your hand;
You were there, but you were not
I can’t begin to understand.

It’s a sad kind of funny,
a funny kind of sad,
when people so together
can be so very far apart.

Clasped together, gliding on the dance floor
dancing so slow it feels there’s tomorrow;
I whisper to myself, I want to know,
Do I dance with you or with a shadow?

It’s a sad kind of funny,
a funny kind of sad,
when people so together
can be so very far apart.

So now today I reach out my hand,
will you take it, and clasp my fingers
or will you not, and let me linger?

It’s a sad kind of funny,
a funny kind of sad…
