I demand a fair hearing

Sayid lost it big time. But I am not sure if that means NGONGE has won.

The rascal stole this poem and claimed it as his own.

 

 

 

I replied with the following (though I would not have dared had I knew the origins of his poem):

 

 

 

 

He still would not come clean and posted the following (stolen again) poem:

 

 

 

The Burco blood was starting to boil and though my good sense was telling me not to reply, I could not help myself and said:

 

 

 

 

He came back with another that he claims is his own:

 

 

 

I decided to quit this sham of a duel and leave him to it. But he would not let it rest and came up with the following:

 

 

 

That Burco blood started to bubble within me and I had to reply regardless of the mockery it may cause later. But I had enough sense to do it in private:

 

 

 

But he would not let go and said:

 

 

 

The Burco blood was overflowing by now (eesh hada "naagtii ganbada" ya naas?). So, I sought some (minor must I add) help and replied with the following:

 

 

 

 

He has not returned with any stuff since, but I think that has more to do with

a google search failure

than anything else.

 

Now you know the whole story. Give a fair verdict please.

 

LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL. Haven't read anything this funny for a looong time. Thank you, thank you..

REER BURCO GABAY HA LOO DAAYO, Ninkii Qardho u magac sidaa'na suuqa ha u qaamam tago. NGO is the clear WINNER!

[Abtigiis]

Clearly Ngonge won the battle .................... END OF STORY

Sayid Qardhai made two big blunders. One was to duel with some Arabeto with absolutely nothing to lose. The second mistake was to be from a town just outside poetry country.

[Bashiir]

Difficult to say, cause both of them don't qualify to compose a one. It is messed up stuff.

[Jacaylbaro]

At least one struggled to compose his own ,, the other one was stealing from others.

[Bashiir]

But one needs more to read or revise earliest, and modern Somali poets.

[Jacaylbaro]

Not at this stage sxb ...... if the other one brings his own that would be the second phase.

NG's victory lap is justified. But as others have pointed out, the whole thing was like taking candy from a baby. To lose against a plagiarist would be miraculous. And miracles are very improbable things.

[Ismalura]

Mesha gabay kumaba arko ! I weep for the 'nation of poets'.

[NGONGE]

Bashiir & weeping Ismalura are not better than Sayid (and Sayid at least copied the work of others). I would like to see either of you coming up with something of your own before you could put my efforts down (there you go Sayid, a way out).

[Bashiir]

Inaan arintan ka gabayi laba cali is waydiin maysee, bal horta adi iyo sayidku soo kala baxa.
