Just like new

Walt : write a rap to share the facts on  a Ta’ovala.


Just like new


In the kingdom of Tonga
As a sign of respect
People wear Ta’ ovala
to a special place
to avoid family disgrace


To a funeral people wear black
If you don't you're really slack
On top of that you wear a decorated Ta’ ovala to make it flash


Ta’ ovala is passed from generation to generation
sometimes to another nation


Kiekie are the modern style
you wear it to birthdays  
and even down the aisle


Homemade ones are the best
because they beat the rest
They are made from flax
and thats a fact
with lots of love
from deep down in the heart .

very nice. I love the way it rhythms. Was it hard to make it rhyme or easy ?
