ALL I WANT FOR VALENTINE
Dear kamau,
My love,
No chocolate, no flowers,
No dinner, no movie,
All I want is you,
To come and whisk me away,
From my Mother’s den,
And take me with you.
I want you,
To take me somewhere special,
Breath of fresh air,
Take me to Nyeri.
My love,
If you love me,
Prove it,
I want a 2nk Sacco ticket to Nyeri,
If you love me.
If you love me,
As much as I love you,
You will take me to Nyeri,
I want to stand at Gakere road and hope to see all my lost relatives,
Tell Kairu, tell Ambani,
Whoever comes first,
I want pictures, posing at the gates of White Rhino,
Buy me drinks that have bubbles in Happy Times,
I want to take bread and eggs at Whispers Park,
and tell you what my elders want, Cows, goats, beer they insist on,
and I want children, a farm, coffee plantation, a house,
If you love me.
My love,
Call Jeremano wa taxi,
Let him take us to Tetu,
I want to go to Kigogoini
To see Wanjohi Wa Kigogoini,
I hear he is as handsome as chief Ngunjiri’s son.
My love,
I do not ask for much this valentine,
Let us go to Chania River,
And swim
I will carry sweet potatoes and tea,
I want to see the famous king’ong’o prison,
I hear that if you look closely,
You might see a prisoner escaping,
That’s what I heard.
My love,
The village herdsman,
Told us of a great man,
Who has eaten the constitution and all laws,
That when He speaks in court,
All are in awe,
My love,
I demand to see him,
See Muhoho Gichimu.
My love,
Let us go to majengo ya Nyeri,
I want to eat chips at kaka’s place,
And listen to mejja lyrical prowess,
Don’t tell me that he is not there,
He lives there.
Fine, if I can’t see him,
I must see kibe wandindi, and listen to wandindi speak,
I have too.
My love,
Please say yes,
Do not deny me,
Take me to Kimathi University,
I want to see the glass buildings,
How is it possible to have glass buildings?
I want to visit all garissa shops,
You will buy me pencil jeans,
Pencil point shoes, and a huge ‘Gussi’ Hand bag,
I hear Maathai supermarket is now a hotel,
That they are cooking all the white man’s food-I must swallow pizza
And drown it with fresh juice.
My love,
If you truly love me,
You will take me to Ruring’u stadium,
I want to sing;
“Bururi uyu with Gikuyu, Ngai aturathimiere na akiuga tutikauma kuo”
Just like the Mau Mau did back then in 1963,
I want to visit Bunge and remind my Councilor One Mr. Mbogo ,that my eyes and ears are wide open.
My love
I wait your reply,
You will say yes,
If you love me,
please say yes.
My love,
No chocolate, no flowers,
No dinner, no movie,
For me,
All I want is you.
Yours truly,
ISO Certified Nyeri County Beauty
