Yeji is a small port town on the coast of Lake Volta, in northern Ghana. It's a rustic little town, where everyone knows everyone and the tourists are treated like family.

Awakened by the cacophony,

The morning breeze brings

The foul scent of fish to my nose,

Tickled by the creepy crawl of a spider

As hymns of Christians trumpet

In my right ear, Muslims in my left,

Chants, groans, babies cry.

Sun rises as quickly as buckets

Swing for water, good morning

Old friend from last night hollers

Don't mind late sleepers. Life

Is too busy this small port town

Morning, got to swep the dirt from

The dirt and fan the fire,

Clean the pounder, catch the fish.

Morning time is no time

In Yeji town, Ferry's coming

Today with big spenders.
