5 eggs gone


5 eggs bought in the market place
Many women thronged bargaining
Voices high and low gossipping
They never change

And she dropped 5 eggs
In the market place
Calamity Jane dreaming away
Eyes see double gripping out of focus

She dropped 5 eggs
A new gossip in the market place
An old man came to her rescue
She mumbles "thank you aunty"
She quickly walks away

The rain today
She will not get hot
She coolly stays
Forget about eggs
Come back early
