Title: How Tarzan was kicked out of Africa and other folklore Post by: Ntu on February 16, 2006, 08:24:40 AM I am like the griots of old
That told stories of lore and ancestors, This is the story of how Tarzan was rooted from Africa, Cats on the shoulder, The hunter and the lion- Sunjata faced Tarzan by the river, Bambu Suso, the storyteller was there Banna Kanute, the storyteller was there The Chagga storytellers were there To witness The hunter and the lion-Sunjata contest Tarzan Anansi sang a Janjungo- hymn of bravery For the Jata- lion The Hare was there So was the Tortoise, To witness The hunter and the lion-Sunjata’s battle with Tarzan The two sister peaks of Kilmanjero – Kibo and Mawenzi Were there, All of Africa’s lore were there To witness Sunjata (who was in his mother’s womb for seven years, crept until the moment he wanted to arise, arose like a lion and became a king,) Cats on his shoulder The lion and the hunter Sunjata kicked- (the mother of all kicks) Tarzan out of Africa Tarzan, the Anglo Saxon who dear claim to be king of lands that already had kings, Who dear to claim to be a legend in a land that already had legends Far greater than he could ever be, Legends and lore that my ears have never heard before, But have heard now, That they have kicked Tarzan out of Africa, Title: Re: How Tarzan was kicked out of Africa and other folklore Post by: Eja on February 16, 2006, 08:41:14 AM Ntu
