The Story of a Man That Won'T Be Named

First year, it was Mary,Bola and Rose Each of them called upon my ministry of offspring-making Ofcourse I yielded. I was like, no one knows. All of them are good girls and none of them had snoring issues Not one of them knew the existence of the other All year round, our love rectangle was legendary If Mary cried about getting all the test questions wrong There, my jobless hands were, ready to circle around her like a snake The rope of discordance between my legs wouldn't let her rest until it was 'done' If Bola visited just to check on her so-called Romeo It didn't take too long for her undies to find the ground's oreo I'd tell myself it was normal, that love gives all anyways Then came Rose's turn to grace my bed with her flowery scent At my beckon, she was already at her knees, covered in sweat Then i wondered, is that all of it? Second year, Itunu found her way to me At first, she seemed to ignore the heavenly presence that was me Then our hearts collided in mystery or was it misery? None of my friends knew why i kept taking her to the campus major eatery She was careless with words but the view from behind her was majestic Finally, i had found the one mama will not but approve, cause her smile was chic I held off on my raging hormones because, well... she wanted to wait It intrigued me so much that i promised myself not to forcefully have a taste Then Mary showed up, demanding that i fulfil my responsibilities Ehm, my response was "have i ever laid eyes on your genitals"? Well, i found a little money and told her to get lost She didn't hesitate, because she knew all was lost There was no turning back,it was Itunu or no one else 2 days before final exams, I decided to pay my love a visit Lo and behold, here was my Queen in all her glory with her so-called "cousin" Since i was taught to never hit a girl i walked out with my head bowed, wondering "what the hell!" She didn't even try to stop me Is this how Rose felt when she saw me with Bola? What was i supposed to say to all my friends and my mother? i didn't realize i was on the express, deep in thoughts till i fell to the ground, screaming "Itunu" i blacked out before i reached the ground woke up in an hospital, looking like "the mummy" they said i had slept for 2 days meaning, i missed the final exams they already said there were no re-dos i had it coming so i didn't cry Oh Itunu, you shouldn't have done this evil thing how i wish i had listened to what mum said, that the end of a thing is better than the beginning therein.
