Poem
Born into the family of seven Handed over the last born baton By the other descendants of the Pa Noah “Mekolani Olajide’s” fame. Her sojourn in life starts from The far down “Sora”, Sora to “Odo Alafia” “Odo Alafia” to the West of “Oraborode” “Oraborode” of “Odojomu” “Odojomu” of “Ondo town.” She shone like a million star in all. “Ariyayosi” grew up eating the fear Of the Lord as Breakfast. Brave and Intelligent “Yemi Mekolani” alias “Mama Ondo” leaves no stone unturned as She prepares her self-discipline, hardwork And cleaningness as Launch. As charismatic and erudite “Pa Noah Olajide” “Baistically” prepares “Aribabagbojule” Dinner Meant to cushion the effect of Ups and downs of life All these in the Biblical Ark of Noah Of the Pa Noah Olajide;s house. No wonder the other kinsmen I mean the six others of the Olajide Strong Spiritual Siji Innocent Innovative Iyabo Fearless Fascinating Fisayo Lanky Lively Lanre Lenient Lawful Luwale And of course Faithful Famous Funmi , Gave her all the needed love to Make her shone like a million star. Aunty Rose went through the rigous of Secretariat knowledge as part of the needed Catalyst to catapult her to Queen Elizabeth palace Right into the waiting hands of amiable Martins Babatunde Martino, a loving and understanding husband Has all it takes to thank God for giving him A good wife, indeed a vessel unto honour. The emergence of Sade Innocent, Later Sade Ronik, now Manchester University Was the needed tonic for quest for greener pasture. The lovely wen-wen sound of a new born baby That signaled Sade’s entrance was Not enough to distract her focus. Similola shone like a million star Then comes the arrival of Saintly Sagacious Sayo And ever Stylishly Shy Seye on stage. For the lead cast role has Scientific Splendid Sade at the back of the stage. As a Sister, she is a rare gem As a Wife, she is rare breed As a Friend, she is a rare specie As a Confidant, she is a rare seed As a Teacher ,she is a rare scroll As a Mother, she is a rare plant. Alayande Stephen .T August 10th,2005 7.30am Packaged for my Aunty’s Birthday in London Its was one of my earliest poem, hence, the Colloquial usage in the poem.
