It is Saturday
not a normal Saturday
but special Saturday
Sleep sweet
Not getting up;
Glued to the bed
And boom;
Splash of water
My mother shout
Getting up like soldiers
Cleaning the kitchen
Tired but energetic
Saturday songs;
Vibing to it
Brother clearing weeds
Environmental day indeed;
Rest for a while;
Mother shouting again
Go and baths;
Mama on best dress
Owambe time!
We dress and grove
Finally at home;
After long hours
Long hours of owambe
The GELE choke!
Hmm preparing for Sunday
Sunday wardrobe wahala;
Sunday stew and rice;
Prepared ahead
And it is a good night
Saturday with shout
Also Aso Ebi

Nicely written and although I did not understand some of the words I got the feeling. Well done
