Behold a Nigerian Single Parent

Behold a Nigerian single parent By clearly doubled duties bent, Shaking her right now, inescapable rent; Just grabbing what this had all along meant. Lo! The Nigerian Loner Parent More minutes to nasal congestion lent And by same on silly errands sent For an apartment she must alter its scent. See! The Nigerian Single Parent Lately her bond severed with A Kent, For refusing to disclose where he went; Newly hoping on a run-into Clement And planning to “The Thing” Cement! Just feel A-Now-Hopeful Single Parent, Never her conduct judging a dent; Trusting that she’s met a worthier Gent, Whose worst would be life in a tent.
