READ THE POEM BELOW AND ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW

    Her lip suckle the nipples

    Milk bubbles, foams and ripples

    Little hands up in the air

    Catch on the mother’s hair

    Sweet sensation rises in pressure

    Tiny legs kick with pleasure

    Sleep comes gently and strong

    Sleep whispers softly and long.

 

(Emusara Ossie Enekase)
