Village Girl IV

The village has been boring,
Aunty to her has made a favour,
Taking the girl to the town,
To change the pattern,
And learn a few townsfolk traits,
Which she has grasped instantaneously!

Last weekend she bumped into my place,
Excited to share her new world,
 A nice mini skirt on,a skinny on,
White sports shoes and green knee length socks,
Smart hair,over oiled though,
A pleasant smell,however a mixture of chemicals detected,
Make ups,a variety yellow shades near the eyelids,
Shiny forehead, glossy lips,
A million dollar blush,
And the oversized handbag?

She shared her story,
She shared her number,
She showed me her phone,
A qwerty keyboard Chinese brand,
Louder than the Mama Njoroges bleating goat,
That used to mess our dreams due to an underfed belly,
And the nagging nature of its ancestors,
She  told me of the twin sim card,
How calling rates are varied and how I should do the same,
She narrated her social media life ,
Her latest version of profile,
Her Photoshopped images that gather million likes,
And how she sends to spasms all the admirers.

She demanded an out,
Claiming her crave for chocolate,
Yet my memory was fresh how she used to munch stolen fruits,
She narrated her knowledge on five star hotels in town,
And how she swam on the weekend,
I doubted since the last time she almost drowned in the stream at home.
She was happy to learn to flush toilets,
And she couldn't make it why her cousin made so much fuss when her boyfriend pestered her to 'flush',
She was all smiles to know the town,
And could even jeer my little grasp on town lifestyle.

Unluckily,
The auntie is disappointed,
She claims her niece is extraordinarily difficult,
And her town life needs suspension!
A village girl in town!!!
