Dad's Newest Composition

In a recent blog entry on the wonders of Walid Jumblatt's musical name I mentioned that my dad used to compose little ditties to sing in the car that used the Lebanese militia leader's euphonious handle. I also suggested that he was not so musically inclined when it came to African leaders. Thanks to the magic of email I stand corrected. Please be upstanding for my father's latest magnum opus, "The Random African Leaders Of The Last 20 Years Rag":

"All well with us interesting one of your recent blogs; you obviously do not recall (to the tune of "Jerusalem");

And did Dr Hastings Banda of Malawi
Drink tea with Mangasuti Buthwelesii
On the top of Spion Kop
And did Bishop Desesmond
have a tea cake too oo oo oo oh
And did the sandals of Jomo Kenyata
Walk the Isandlewanda Road ....."
