Chinedum Ekwobi Poet Rhyme

Every Transfer Letter

Either sooner or later,
Every transfer letter
Would a chained worker unfetter,
Him moving from an old camp 
To a new station dry or damp,
This validating with a stamp, 
The reason for it not voicing 
But its taking of effect noising
Him reminding of Diligence,
As The company’s still  trusted Agent,
The message flashed across:
His relocation’s a gain: not a  loss,
A new salubrious air to be breathed
In a new scene hating knives are still sheathed
The language of Transfer Letters!
The carefully couched by our Linguistic Betters:
Always as plain as a pikestaff
And straight like a ramrod 
Not anything stating by a half;
To seekers of alterations, a cord:
“You are to report to branch B within one week,
Further instructions at your new station seek”.
