Question

Why the old woman limps poem read it Do you know why the old woman sings? She is sixy years old with six grandchildren to look after While her sons and their wives are gone south to dig gold. Each day she milks the goat, sells the milk to buy soap, Feeds and washes the children, tethers the goat. In the evening she tells all stories of old at the fireside: I know why the old woman sings. Do you know when the old woman sleeps? She rests with the dark, at night she thinks of Tomorrow: she's to feed the children and graze the goat. She's to weed the garden, water the seedling beans, The thatch has to be mended, the barnyard cleared. Maize pounded, chaff winnowed, millet ground, fire lit ... I do not know when the old woman sleeps. Do you know why the old woman limps? She goes to fetch water in the morning and the well is five miles away,Goes to fetch firewood with her axe and the forest is five miles the other way,Goes to the fields to look for pumpkin leaves leaving the goat tethered to the well tree And hurries home to the children to cook: I know why the old woman limps.
