Jonkunnu
Baby
My
mother say it was a sight
That
dark December Hartford night
When
jonkunnu wheel into the yard
Beating all kinda contraption
Till
she start feel contraction
Rolling
calf dance with belly-woman,
Pitchy-patchy
with police
And
me a jig into creation
A
noisy little exclamation!
So
you take a big chance
When
you ask me for a dance
This
quiet looking lady
Is
a born Westmoreland
Jonkunnu
baby!
