If you were Uganda’s potholes,

My love would be the stagnant waters filled in you.

I would plant suckers of my love in you.

I would be glad that all drivers dodge you-

You would never be hurt by their four wheels.


If you were Uganda’s potholes,

I would let you be filled with mukoka

So I could fish the tastiest tilapia

And draw gallons of intimacy to quench my thirst.


If you were Uganda’s potholes,

I wouldn’t advocate that you be covered up with tarmac

As Im not strong enough to miss feasting my eyes your beauty.

I would lock up the blind lunatics

Who want you marred with that black stuff


If you were Uganda’s potholes,

I would love you against my people’s will

To hell, I would send the pigs who wish us not well-

Only if you were Uganda’s potholes…!
