Scatterbrainy

I'm sure you've all been wondering all this time,
what happened to the African Allegory of this summer?

Well, the massai did settle down underneath the branches of the acacia for a while
It was not the same, of course. He was not sure what it was,
but it was different weather...
But then the acacia started asking for water,
and so he picked up his things and left.

And there she stands, the acacia, the sole tree on the savannah
No water; no massai.

metaphorically speaking...
