POEM 293: THIS IS NOT A POEM

Someday, when again I satire
political events around the Niger area
I'll write a poem on Baba Adamawa
featuring Dede Anambra.

In this poem of mine,
which shall be written in due time,

I shall scribble about an Atikulate Obituary
where all divides shall lie in state,
in a faux cemetery:
Her rite foul place.

I promise, there'll be no play on wards
in this future poem of mine.
And if you hold me by my words,
friend, the blame wouldn't be mine.

This is not a poem

Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...
