Palm Wine Tapper's Prayer

Send me to jiggle Papa

on my waist place the wriggle over

bid my eyes clearly to see

those beautiful fruits on the palm tree

And let me hunger to climb a top

lest i forget, not without my cup

so large it be to fill her up

with the precious tasty water

that nature has to offer

Hear my short prayer o! Papa.
