When you live in Kampala it's fun to go to Jinja for a break,Its calm and laid-back, there's the Nile and the lake.The best road in Uganda runs between each city,And it's here where many die, it seems such a pity.Strange but true, there's not a pothole in sight,But a truck hurtling towards you can give you quite a fright.Ugandans are relaxed, they are patient and calm,But when in charge of a vehicle they develop a sense of alarm.It seems essential to overtake, urgently and at great speed,To know what lies just out of sight, there is absolutely no need.Best not know what what approaches at speed in your lane,Just pray you die quickly and feel little pain.If you arrive at your destination you feel very fortunate,But it's never guaranteed, I just put it down to fate.
