Tingo

Tingo

A Poem by RaZiTheGreat
"

Four crazy words put together with their own tiny rhyming scheme.

"
Tingo, Tingo, Tingo.
It makes one think "what ho?"
What does it mean, oh I know,
but its meaning is very brow low.
"To take all objects one desires from the house of a friend, one at a time by borrowing them."

Areodjarekput, it sounds so strange to say.
Its meaning in Inuit is a strange as night and day.
It means not to have fun or go out and play,
but the way that it is pronounced gives its meaning away.
"To exchange wives for only a few days, gaining all sexual rights to the wife in question."

Bakku-Shan, Bakku-Shan, oh you pretty thing.
Come over here so may take you under my own wing.
Oh no, what's this, some trickery I do sing,
but woe is one who can't escape from you cause they're on a swing.
"A woman who seems pretty when seen from behind, but not from the front."

Nakhur, Nakhur, you're behaving like nakhur.
Stranger an insult there never were.
To be called something so large and then some more,
but you can take it through all that skin and fur.
"A camel that won't give milk until it's nostrils are tickled."

I took a few creative liberties writing this...but all the words are actually real.
