L-A-G-O-S! My City

I:

L-a-g-o-s!
Fantastic, my city
Of many surprises,
O, Ngozika,
& you just expect anything –
No! everything?
Not just the Nolly wood products!
’Tis a sort of world culture
Everything black in surplus,
Plus, of course,
Doses of Eurocenticism –
L-a-g-o-s!
To know her well
You may get into a thousand pages!
Let’s get that in bits!
