O My Ayiyiyi!
When I asked her who was she
She said, "I am Ayiyiyi"
Not ABC nor XYZ
But she was only Ayiyiyi
Though many problems she fostered
Yet from all nonsense she was free
In depression, in anxiety
She said to herself, "Ayiyiyi"
While she was surprised or confused
She used to exclaim, "Ayiyiyi"
When she was tired, went to bed
And eased herself with "Ayiyiyi"
From every quagmire she escaped
She charged herself with Ayiyiyi
Whether in suffering or in pain
She always murmured Ayiyiyi
Whenever she was so happy
She whispered to me Ayiyiyi
She liked to sing in jolly mood
Each song started with Ayiyiyi
As she was full with sanguine hope
Her eyes sparkled Ayiyiyi
Whenever she looked at the moon
She wished to fly Ayiyiyi
When I said, "You have golden heart"
Embraced me dancing Ayiyiyi
From top to toe, from A to Z!!
So she was throughout Ayiyiyi
To my utter dismay, one day!!!
She said she was not Ayiyiyi!!!
