Traffic musings

Sweltering noon!
I’m off to lunch
I amuse myself in the thick Accra traffic by watching passers by
The bright yellow blouse and 6inch heels catch my eye
The “no-breather” jeans too
Did I mention the mile-long hair?
I give a shocked laugh
She replies with an angry glare
The blouse even more
The side walk is undulating
She teeters and totters off!

    Love your snapshots from the Ghanaian everyday life. Will add you to my daily-reads.

    Cheers!

  2. Brilliant, but you're deriding the poor person because you keep you own hair short...ish. :-)
