My Sudanese Friend Ace Nozha Idris
By

Fatima El-Jack

28th September 2005

Nozha, like me she loves shopping

And also she is good at mopping

She keeps some birds and wish

Sometimes to have a golden fish

***

Nozha might be good at sport

But I am not sure about her thought

She is good at cooking

And also taxi booking

***

She likes to watch TV

Just go look and see

She makes up games

And she swims in the river Thames

***

Nozha reads the Times

And the Evening Post sometimes

But her favourites are children magazines

Where she reads them in white Limousines

***

In winter her garden is full of icy circles

You bet she won’t be able to ride her bicycles

She ’ill not play out as much

When she sees a chilled drink she won’t even touch

***

In her room we surf the net

And that is without a fuss or comment

She serves the milk shake

And follow it with a handshake

***

On Saturday I stay in her house

But I have never heard or seen a mouse

On Sunday she comes to my flat

Hoping to touch and play with my bat

***

In summer we go to Umdorman

That is not here but in Sudan

We walk to the river Nile

And that is just over a mile
