She is looking like a fool
Some think that is cool
Covered in cotton wool
She jumps into the pool
How can that be cool
That is daddy's girl;a fool
In wet cotton wool
She doesn't go to school
Just plays the fool
How can that be cool
Daddy's girl in the pool
Using those pranks as a tool
To escape going to school
That surely isn't cool
Just like a crazy fool
Missing out of school
Just having fun in a pool
Isn't surely cool
Her name is sally the fool
Surely a crazy fool

There was I thinking that you had written another poem with a deep meaning  |

| Good man ! you're always ready to decipher postings , just like me at times one can be reading too deeply for hidden meanings where there are none . I mean this truly ,I was trying to write a song , and got my inspiration from "Ma Baker" by (Bonny M) I hope I spelt his name correctly, which I listened to recently. I also noticed that most songs sound good listening to in music but have very little in terms of meaning or sense . Please do not bother that you did not decode a message this time because for me you always a good paddy . I love what is known here as banter . Its fun reading you too mate.We banter at the banta bar yeah man! |

Yeah.......... Cool dude  ,I have jumped in with both feet in postings not doing enough research and taking things at face value,  perhaps I should stick to decyphering poems. |

| It is a free space and no one could and should stop you doing what pleases you. I do not think you did what you said ; literally jump in with both feet, it was a good take on the poem , surely you do know that greater poets than I have had their works paraphrased by students in various forms and all giving a variety of opinions and views on them.If those erudite scholars could have their works dissected what could we less endowed fellows expect. Your interpretation was not far fetched in my opinion and you relied on your understanding of it to make the comments you made.My response too was to give you my own take that was all; okay mate, cheers now. |

kaani, in my humble opinion, there are lessons and meanings in all things we do. the poem can be a song depending on ones intention.
i can resemble the poem to young sisters who are pressured to do things especially in the make-up and beauty sector, wasting precious time in pleasing ghosts.
Young pretty girls spend far too much time trying to look cool for who? a parent who missed that delicate part of a young girl's fears and worries for her image may miss a serious mental question.
closer to home, i see quiet a lot of young black girls prettyfying themselves at an early age in some parts of U.K. that pressure i feel takes their thoughts away from serious issues like their education. so your song can unlock far more than you intended.
keep writing, it is a relief to see that you are not affected my the fear inherent in a section of Gambians. people fear so much about abouts others opinion, they are willing to keep silent with brilliant ideas. the fear is, people will say, he/she boostful, seeking attention, fame and what have you. yet this people are mostly busy talking on the phone and watching so much tv, they can write books with those spare times. don't get bugged down by what other think. you are your thought, your ideas etc. thanks |

| Thanks Santa for your words encouraging me to keep writing,that was very kind of you indeed. The point for me is that I am not assuming to have the monopoly over translations of what I write here , for to do that would be ,preposterous and should I say unacceptable. As demonstrated by the two reactions from you and Toubab one can see that various persons could read the same poem and come up with differing views about what was being discussed. I sincerely wanted to write a song and that was why did this one.Thanks once more for the reaction , cheers mate. |
