Kitu Kidogo

Hi there!
Allow me to introduce myself
First name Kitu, last name Kidogo!
Although I have various other nicknames
Like Fraudulent and Corrupt
I will definitely respond to Bribery

Where I work, it’s always lunchtime 
I don’t eat paper, but I do like green(s)
And unless you have “something small” for me
I will remain unbothered about your queries 
Eating your time, your tolerance and peace
Because I like to power play like that

Speaking of power, I have it over you
So don’t go complaining to my boss
I’m doing the very best I can
And I have been known to humble “big-mouths”
Besides, my boss? 
He eats better than I do!

Now that we are well acquainted,
Tell me, how can I ‘serve’ you?
We’ll both win if you help me, help you
And if you think you’re too good for bribes,
That’s OK… I’ll wait…. and frustrate… and exasperate…
Because bribery usually begins… where your patience ends
And justice? Justice never quite begins.
