Garri in Addis
Home away from home
Thousands of kilometres
Where hospitality friendly yet strange
Cuisines at variance with home
Consuming unfamiliar meals
To keep body system in function
Homesick, yet home afar
From nowhere comes the bang
Wow! an invitation from whom?
A dinner from home
Is it home in faraway land?
Yeah, like bridal excitement
All guests sat chatting away
Golda, who is Golda
Golda our hostess
Golda offered garri meal
Garri served with eru veggie
Oh, garri my staple meal
Oyi, garri in Addis Ababa
Addis needs garri for staple
Garri in Addis the solution
