on paintings in the art

In the sun there is a rule:
It rays violence,
Pitched in the morning -
And on the ground the heat ....

Somewhere in the jungle on vines,
Somewhere on the south side
Inhabited by monkeys,
And giraffes, and elephants.

Where in silver creek
Hippos sweet sleep
painted birds
Rainbow colors flying.

Africa ...
Fabulous country
Africa ...
Hot sky,
Africa ...
Sweet plantains,
Because in Africa
Summer all year round!
