MY HOLIDAY IN THE SUDAN
By
Safeia El-Jack
(8th October 2006)
I went home to my beloved Sudan
Looking forward hoping to see Tarzan
Unfortunately he was away for a sun tan
And that was in Pakistan
***
We took the train from Leeds
And after two long hours in the weeds
We arrived at Manchester International airport
It is for passengers and not for import
***
The flight took eight long hours
And the food was tasty unlike ours
We watched nice films and play games
And from high above we saw the Thames
***
When we arrived in Khartoum
We were met by our cousin Kaltoom
It was hot and the sun was bright
But for us it was good and it was all right
***
A private car took us to Fadasi
And that was far away from Tangasi
We arrived tired, thirsty and hungry
And that I find a lot of mystery
***
In the night I had a cool shower
And I slept out in the nice weather
The peacock Wake me up early in the morning
Where I cleaned myself wondering and thinking
***
We then sat around grandma and cousins
Where she gave us milk and muffins
We ate, laughed and talked
And then we went into the village for a walk
***
In the afternoon we went to the river Nile
Which was near and less than a mile
We ran around and about with a smile
And the sand was cleaner than a tile
***
In Medani we went to Misk El-Khitam
There we ate food and followed by jam
Not to forget I must mention our cousin little Sam
Who have a cute little friend called Azzam
***
In September we came back to our primary School
Where we play, read, write and sit on stool
On contrast the weather was extremely cool
And we were not allowed to play in the pool
