Twenty ‘seniti’

Your fortune will be told; Last night we hardly slept Too many young girls Wanted jobs and husbands; “You will marry a white man But you have a rival Who is a very close friend; You will travel To a faraway country Your parents are worried About your future”.

The fortune teller is Short and fat Her wrap-around mat Protects her secrets From which she makes A living Fulfilling dreams Of people who long To travel, get married Or become rich.
