Ode to a Chicken Bouillon (in Twi)

Me ni akukɔ bouillon
Me ye tesɛ adakaa
Meren woso
Crouton a nehu ye akɔnɔ
Na ye de adea ɔwɔ hann fata nehu
Na ye de nu ahye abɔriabɔ mu
Obi num ye minestone
Obi num ye chowder
Me ye nkwaɛ a ye be nnua
Ma me nsuo na ma me ahutɔ

Translated from English to Twi by Ghanain theatre designer Isreal Fummey

I am a chicken bouillon
Square
Unmoving
A flavored crouton
Wrapped in tin foil
Sealed in a jar
Soup potential
Some people are minestrone
Some people are chowder
I am broth to be
Give me water and set me free
