Monkey On Clothes

Look at that monkey over there! Can someone tell me what he is wearing? Is that not an oversize Agbada he's wearing? Yeaaaah! look at his shoes, are they really shoes? His 'fila' falling here and there, Is that how a normal human dresses? The neck of his Agbada is on his shoulder and He is putting on the cloth on its back, The embroiding is visible to his skin. The sokoto sags to his waist like a prisoner in th US; Can you see his displayed pants? Oh! No! Not again. Can you watch the way he dances without his legs? Is that how a natural human dance? Does his teeth looks like that of a man or woman? Maybe he belongs to the Animatician' Kingdom. Yeaaaaaah! I have seen his buttock! He is a monkey with a human buttock! He is a monkey fashioned from the animal kingdom! But, I have seen him once in the government house, He was painted as the president of the country. So many of them have joined the animal farm! Oh, oh, oh, oh! All the money he acquired should have make him better or even finer! Does he have no mirror in his room? Hmmmmmmmmh! I can not put on Agbada again if those That wears it always look like monkeys. Watch out for his shoes! There is gum under it! Make sure he is thoroughly searched before he leaves otherwise, you will lose all your money to his gummed shoes that he put on. Those monkeys in your party are wiser than you think. Once they get hold of your fortune, they embezzle it, so becareful here! (C) John Chizoba Vincent All Right Reserved 2016
