Adeleke(Pronounced Ha Day Lay Kay)

(To learn more about this fascinating young man, see his blogs!) Adeleke, Adeleke, you blew in like a breeze; A breath of welcome air, you set us all at ease. Adeleke, Adeleke, already I can see You have a cheerful nature and a love of poetry. Adeleke, Adeleke, you’re not my son-in-law, And yet already I’ve become your new adopted ma! Adeleke, Adeleke, your fame is spreading wide. You’ll be the son in whom ALL of us older gals confide! Adeleke, Adeleke, I know you seek a wife. But don’t be rushed; relax and learn to just enjoy life. Adeleke, Adeleke, with all your many charms, I’m sure that soon enough, you’ll hold a wife inside your arms. And one last thing, Adeleke, my son-in-poetRAY, Is it “Ha day LAY kay,” “Ha DAY lay kay” or “Ha day lay KAY?”

You gave me warm smiles, Andrea. Adeleke calls me "ma" too and I have come to love him like a son. Such a wonderful friend to have! Love, Carolyn
