Across the sea in Africa
There really is no match for her,
An eight-foot-tall Amazon bird,
Leader of a tribe that is so absurd,
Queen of the Faguchi’s.
&&&&
The tribe she rules, composed of fools, but a dedicated harem,
So meek and mild, even their shadows scar ‘em,
Not blessed with brains, no will to fight
They worship their queen with sheer delight,
Queen of the Faguchi’s.
&&&&
The king of the tribe was rough and mean,
Very proud of his unattractive Queen,
And been blind since he was sixteen,
So it's a great big shame that he’s never seen,
The Queen of the Faguchi’s.
&&&&
A visiting tribe came along one day,
“Humba, humba, take your Queen away,”
The tribe went wild, “What do you mean?”
“You're not taking away our Queen,”
Queen of the Faguchi’s.
&&&&
They fought and cursed, made a real scene,
Then the visiting tribe spied the Queen,
Jumped back in their boats like you’ve never seen,
"Humba, humba, You can keep your ugly Queen,"
Queen of the Faguchi’s.
&&&&
Till next time,
Calvin

"You can keep your ugly queen"- she is mighty scary!
She is very scary. I don’t know wh6 I am not getting alerts from you anymore when you publish ?
What a terrifying queen!😵💫 I’d have done likewise “Jumped back in their boats like you’ve never seen,”
I really enjoyed this! So fun to read. I would love the full legend story of this tribe and their ugly queen.
Wow awesome 👍
This was so much fun to read. 😂 I was wondering if it was based on some real tribe so it was quite funny to read your note at the end. 🍷
