“What is a pub?” Asked Sheila Musinguzi. Mr. Kasirye smiled and said, “It is a bar.
Only adults are allowed to go and drink there.”

“If you get many customers, how do you serve them all?” Logose asked. “That is a
good question. We have waiters and waitresses who serve the customers. They set

follow.
Look at all these guests I have received
Just because of the invitation cards I sent them
Now here they are
To attend my wedding ceremony.

I hope their big attendance due to friendship

The ones I sent and others by hand
How useful letters are!

I must say “letters forever”

If I were to invite them by phone
How much airtime would I use?
Of course it would be very costly.

Letters have always done it for me

Think of the application letter I wrote
The one that gave me this big job
An engineer for this big town.
