Diary Notes

Diary Notes Rising very early from my bed this morning I’m stunned to see my days glowing with The sun’s ray’s I draw closer to pick my Bible which lies underneath My pillow I read copiously from the scriptures And pray that I may be like a beautiful Harvard willow- A righteous tree Driving fast as I could to my office to do some consulting I recall that in this Academic community I’m not a novice Soon and too soon A pair of young girls like my own biological children Pound incessantly upon my door. These are nice scented flowers sent from the Land Beyond To lend morale and infuse spice to my bright morning No they’re BBC Africa’s spies I hold my breath at once And scream upward to the skies Oh poor me- Professor Gyampo They want to take me for a gigolo.
