Shakara

Shoulders enthusiastic like they would make three Ige's curved spine reminds me of branches of our fruitless palm tree He even says his biceps can bring a thousand down Yet he got defaced by the village's clown As Chief Jaiyeola rolls his agbada like it's an order not to flout The balls of snag flows down his face pronounce bout He claims his new bracelet is a nouveau designer And yet he has bills stacked on the counter Abike spins her waist like it's a ball Her mask she said will make men fall Her lopsided gait makes me wanna flex the muscles of my jaw But when I recall she married a dwarf, it makes me bawl Master Onileimo says he is also an expert in sculpture My little niece said she saw him learning how to design structures He even tried to repair the transformer in the town's entrance And yet none of his students passed the common entrance Only if Chief Jaiyeola knew the wonder in modesty And Abike was a bit gentle with her snobbery Master wouldn't be a failure with the understanding That shakara oloje ni
