Banging the evening famish!



An evening preluded by;
 A meager lunch meal,
 As though saving a dear bill,
 Amounting to millions!
 
A brief breakfast,
 As though we are in a fast,
Awaiting dear God for explanation;
‘’Assuredly we ate just a little!’’
 
A jingle of the money hold
A response heartbreaking
Alas! I have only twenty bob!
Aggrieving on the poverty, I use it all
 
A bunch of three ‘mandazis’
And a recently ripened avocado
A plastic bottle of clear water beside
Amounting to a delicious crescendo
 
Banging the evening famish!
