Matatu's Bring Out The Worst (& Best) out of a Kenyan Boy

I can't fail to remember Ochichi - my Kenyan Boy. Seven years ago he used to be our school "stand-up comedian". He used to drop "big ones" when the Mchongono dual's got dry. "Funnyly", all were somehow related to a matatu, paying fair in a matatu or a guy in a mutatu. In the last case, the guy was always me, my father, my mother etc.

I hated it but the guy was so strong I couldn't add him to my closing-day wanted-list. If I could his name would have been No.1, in red, font-size 24, in bold, italics and heavily underlined. :(

Dedicated to Ochichi:

1. Wewe ni mrefu mpaka ukibebwa na matatu, kutoka kwa magoti, unawekwa kwa carrier
   
2. Hao yenu ni sooo mpaka unapanda matthree kufika bafu
   
3. Budako ni fala alienda airport akauliza kama kuna ndege pick up
   
4. Ati manzi yako manzi yako ni mjinga mpaka driving school alienda boarding.
   
5. Nyamba yenu ni kubwa sana mpaka ndani yako kuna round-about
   
6. Kwenu mko wengi mpaka mnatumia Megarider kuingia
   
7. Unaingianga kwa basi na stool ati ndio usilipe kiti.
8. Mlango za gari yenyu huwa zinafungwa na vifungo za shati.
9. Unamatako kubwa mpaka watu hupata marao na kuidandia kama mathree.
10. Kenyan's love matatus :)
    

About Ochichi,s whereabouts, the last time I saw him he was helping me get into "his" No:144 matatu.
