Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IGJKLMNO CEPJQGRMS CTSULV WNWXUSY| Dark clouds engulfed the blue sky | A |
| The people rushed into their rooms | B |
| Praying for the long awaited rain | C |
| To kiss the lips of the parched land | D |
| A sudden blustery howling wind | E |
| Awakened the slumbering trees | F |
| And pushed them into a sway | G |
| As a drunken man swagging in the dark | H |
| - | |
| They creaked bent and moaned | I |
| As their fine limbs were ripped away | G |
| A jagged bolt of lightning | J |
| Ripped the dark sky in half | K |
| And split the ancient baobab tree | L |
| In the middle of the town into pieces | M |
| A long loud roll of thunder | N |
| Deafened man and beast alike | O |
| - | |
| The house top sheets clanged in pain | C |
| And the thatch roofs danced in the wind | E |
| But not a pearl of water kissed | P |
| The belly of the hungry pots sitting | J |
| Under the storm tossed eaves | Q |
| In a little while the storm gave way | G |
| And the exiled sun returned | R |
| To greet the fear stricken faces | M |
| Of the dwellers in the GEMI mountains | S |
| - | |
| The dark clouds promised rain | C |
| But only the fury of the gods was served | T |
| The chiefs were summoned at Oxulosu | S |
| To consult the gods about the present mishap | U |
| And to appease their fury | L |
| With seven fat cows and seven big kegs of wine | V |
| - | |
| But the gods would have neither meat nor drink | W |
| Rather they sent a swift courier | N |
| To the villages of Osisiblisi Kotoko | W |
| With this message stamped | X |
| With the signet of Agya Osorpo | U |
| Kede n come back to your roots | S |
| When spiders unite they can tie down a lion | Y |
