Odide
Quite a marriage this be!
For long, it has been sought for,
Killing shards of interest shown - indigenous
Have we any dance left for the new couple?
The masters thread softly for long!
These giants with their squills -
Oh! A Gothic scene.
Is dis the best you have for them?
Shall grief be if this reign goes on?
Shall be sad, if they leave?
Quite a sweet-sour tale for many,
Yet, a tale with its imbalance
Squill will make them sell us
Squill will shoulder the responsibilities of the dead.
Such miracles , such lessons
Our marriage has given.
Quite a one -
Unholy marriage.
