The Bridal Sojurn

THE BRIDAL SOJOURN Like an American spy I have always been looking around Wandering around the downtown Not because of my lost goat Nor because of my missing boat But obviously I am the to-be groom Who has been left in the gloom I have built a house with big rooms This has been a lone boon That I got from my age-long boom As a to-be groom I have searched all the pages in the books And checked all cranny and nooks In search of the damsel That would make my relatives dance well Though I have not been assured That her love would get me insured Against adultery and lusty effrontery But I believe in fluke That is why I won’t give up to a crook And rather challenge her with a hook I saw this template on Google And this really makes me giggle Father didn’t stop to niggle But I let them realize I’m nimble To find my ravishing bride That has a picturesque dimple That is devoid of pimple And make me forget that I was single Even if I can still mingle With ladies that are ostensible I know her thinking is plausible And her reasons are tangible To let them realize we are compatible Because our union is defensible JIMOH HAMMED OLAOLUWA
