Hehehehe, one plus one is one
But what is this I hear?
That Paa Ekow wants a nice earthenware
To be his one and only bowl.
Not a bad idea, after all, a man must have a bowl
But, what is this I’m hearing?
That he wants a last-hand bowl?
This bowl I know, is no bowl to keep for a lifetime
Just last time, I saw Issifu, washing his hands in it
Before then, I saw Kwasi licking it dry,
A day before then, I saw Pee washing it after meals
Only for Yirenkyi to eat in it and like a vagabond leave it for the flies,
One time too, I saw the bowl being arrested by the town counsellor,
I am not lying oh, something about the he-goat Kojo, defecating into it,
I also saw Agbozo happily urinating into it
I also saw Konney washing his feet inside.
I nearly shattered it last time, but I knew it wasn’t my business
But look, like a new cock on a new land,
Paa Ekow picks only this bowl and foolishly parades it
In front of hands, feet and others who have washed
Whatever dirt there are on them in,
Kai! It really is the visitor who eats bad food without knowing
Area Asanka, the last-hand goods
He who know know go know soon ooh
Then trouble go crush
See them laughing, me, let me sit here and observe.

Wow! Well captured. Area Asanka Kai! You got me smiling with ” he who know know go know soon”.
But I ask could there be an alternative residence to “Area Asanka” than the “borla”?
