Far across the distance
In a land below the Niger
Lies nature’s treasured work of art
With a voice so calm and gentle
Like the night breeze at sea
Skin, mild and tender
Like the fur of a panda
Glowing crystal clear
A shooting star fall from heaven
Somewhere on the other side of the Niger
Is a rare gem from the skies
Eyes neatly shaped
Skin artfully contoured
Like the galaxies in outer space
With smiles turning twilight to dawn
Is the girl with the one-sided dimple
DHESERT CHEQUER
