Naisoi

Naisoi's a dedicated servant

Despite her age, ten years now.

She wakes at cockrow

To prepare breakfast for the family

Tea and bread for employer

Uji for the children

Warm and pack their lunch

Before as one the family drive off.

Take the baby on her back

Rocking the pram when she cries

Crooning little-learnt lullabies

Filthy plates and things to clean

Smelly nappies all to wash

Takes alot playing mother at day

When children her age

Are learning at school for free.

In the eve she sleeps late

Than everyone else

Doing all that memsab gives.

Naisoi`s job is quite a load

But innocently she abides by the rule

And she makes no grouse

On a paypacket her poor mama takes.
