Ajala the Traveler

AJALA THE TRAVELLER My name is Ajala Not Ajala Jalingo but Ajala the Traveler! My Aduke will say, Ajala Ololufeemi Alarinka You love moving from one place to another. But I don't bother. My footprints,known to the poor and the rich I've been to every planet on earth Even when I sleep with no food to eat Just tell me a town that has just been birth With my little cowries, I'll gather and visit. The kids will sing, Ajala! Ajala! Alarinka... I'll wiggle and dance to the tune of their local guitar Maybe with them I'd go visit Jupiter Spending our nights on the water. That's the life of a traveler. My name is Ajala The Son of Mulika aya Isiaka Mother wants me to be a Police Officer But I'm a friend to all continents, I'm African Kids; sing my song, Ajala! Ajala! Alarinka. Poet Olajire Damilola Muyideen (SMILING)
