gunner-- five years ago, the somali poet togane got it why:

while reviewing my book "at noonday with the gods of somalia," he said:

The dude who just refuses to stay silent in the face of our Somali insolence and insanity!


smart guy, wallahi, that togane...



afdhere

[Grant]

"Af literally means mouth in Somali; the qualifier dhere literally means
long and far;
in other words,
the gods of Somalia have endowed him
with a Mighty Mouth
whose roar,
whose barbaric yawp
is now heard
from the far-famed towers of Whitman’s Manhattan
to Montreal
to Mogadishu
and to points beyond
the benighted and bigoted bushes of Somalia! "

Togane's control of the English language is spectacular!

[Advo]

I dont know but for some strange reason, Togane poems makes me laugh

he does have a way with words even though his too harsh on my beloved qabiil

[afdhere]

grant-- i know, right... "barbaric yawp" lol

advo-- yeah, he can be harsh... but at least it is harsh funny !
