Safari suit Lenny
Safari suit Lenny
never short a penny
our man in Africa
1955
Oxbridge dilettante
drinking from the font
of suntanned woman
a man alive
No compunction
is how Lenny functions
cocktails bourgeoise
with others wives
The colonial obsession
that brought repression
set Mau Mau boys
on the rise
never short a penny
our man in Africa
1955
Oxbridge dilettante
drinking from the font
of suntanned woman
a man alive
No compunction
is how Lenny functions
cocktails bourgeoise
with others wives
The colonial obsession
that brought repression
set Mau Mau boys
on the rise

Lenny could be any one of them.
Well penned Ocean.
