Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLLLMNOEPQ RLLRS LTTJLUV WLXLAY ZA2JLVB2VL| My nightrunner's dances | A |
| Have grown Weak | B |
| He would dance with gusto | C |
| Catapulting himself across | D |
| Launching his gig beside my door | E |
| Pebbles would provide percussive effect | F |
| As softly fast intermittently then | G |
| Violently they would caress | H |
| My iron roofed lockdown | I |
| - | |
| He would sneeze | J |
| And whistle | K |
| Whisper aloud | L |
| Dash to the cowshed | L |
| And call Nyundo | L |
| My ploughing bullock | M |
| Making sure he Pats | N |
| His bare buttocks on | O |
| My mabati door | E |
| It would scream | P |
| And almost let him in | Q |
| - | |
| If I tiptoed to catch him | R |
| Under the belly of Nyundo | L |
| He would be I was told | L |
| Not even a scent of him | R |
| Will I sense | S |
| - | |
| Covid | L |
| And my night keeper | T |
| No longer dances with vigour | T |
| He is weak for he can't sneeze | J |
| The GSU have replaced | L |
| The artistry and athleticism | U |
| Of my midnight musician | V |
| - | |
| For it seems | W |
| Corona has no immunity | L |
| Neither to sorcerers nor sopranos | X |
| Crickets and cicadas rule my homestead | L |
| While Nyundo misses | A |
| My nightman's hisses | Y |
| - | |
| My nightman's night runs | Z |
| Have taken leave | A2 |
| For he fears the sneeze | J |
| Felt in the day | L |
| Would take him in isolation | V |
| For some time | B2 |
| How will he run | V |
| Isolated | L |
