Chinedum Ekwobi Poet Rhyme

African Kolanut

I see a seed of white colouration,
And pink pigmentation.
Manually easy to divide,
Not ritually difficult to provide.

I see the financially easy to handle,
A culturally accepted candle.
Announcer of a host’s good wishes,
Much more treasured than his dishes.

A proof of the giver’s honest intention
And summary of his cheerful disposition.
Alligator pepper is its errand boy,
Content to seem all through its toy:
Garden eggs readily surrendering its portfolio,
Their services adjusted relatively hollow.

Very correct to link it with West Africa
And just as flawless with The Tropical;

Consumer keep impressing its pleasant bitterness:
A continual patience with its induced giddiness…
The gods are served the best  kolanut
To have the mouth of Evil amazingly shut!
