Baskadia

Don't insult me!

Did I not pay your bride price?

Why do you call me useless

When I have used this virgin land?

Why do you say I am manless

When I have cultivated and sowed

Where none had sowed?

If I had provided a lame bride price,

You'd have reason to insult me.

If I were a debtor,

You'd be justified to sue me to elders.

But this useless-manless-manhood

Has proved that I am not impotent,

And has saved you

Of imponderable jeers.

If I am unfair and you can't swallow it up,

Take your degraded land

And sell it to another man.

In the morning, Husband and wife were in the same Bed back to back with each hands on their ears;

Silent with big sighs.
