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.
