| Notes | The speaker of the poem reflects on his efforts to speak properly to the school children under his care - trying to avoid 'false friends' in the language, or ambiguity in his speech. There is a mention of the diglossia of post colonial countries in the poem - the beloved native language of Zambia, Nyanja, and the 'national language', English. |
