after a festive Oromo song

O Friday! be friendly

you rain on our tin roof

you wet-shoe my Pap

and hair-soak my Mam

O Friday! be friendly

it’s end-of-week dinner

weekly fry-day for fish

weekly cuddle for Mam

O Friday! be friendly

tell the nile perch, be crispy

tell the peppers, be prickly

soak our bread in rich sauce

O Friday! be friendly

Mam’s dropping her frypan

Pap’s ouching and hopping

my brothers are scrapping

O Friday! be friendly

shrink the egg on Pap’s big toe

throw salt on my brothers

jump our fish off the floor
