Ogongo Ii

Still, and again “Ogongo” crept into my mouth As I behold the two nocturnal creatures We have waited endlessly No longer in my Aunt’s place, But we became unsolicited watchmen At the streets gate entrance It was an ungodly hour Darkness had key to everywhere Still, and again I winked at my cousin He nodded, and murmured “They are on their way” But when midnight started knocking Out of the furfuled dusk Appeared the two nocturnal “Ogongos” One bringing back the memory of the famous Yokosuna Of the Heavy weight with an heavy duty To her chest, Were a very big size-less eve’s apples? Her mean look compliments her dark complexion Her burnt lips. . . Reddish eyeballs speak of her as a chimney My cousin I pity from within my heart Her hyena-like laughter Turned me back to the second “Ogongo” Of a lesser weight to the former Her Eve’s apples were almost not there “Bad catch, worst choice” I echoed to myself until I saw Her roundly shaped protruding buttock Speaking louder than a loud-speaker It overshadows her duck-like ugly mouth It was an undeniable asset Indeed, the “Ogongos” are both endowed With a Unique Selling Point (UPS) With these, I had taught they can never Run out of good prices in the market. Lo and behold, At the crucial product delivery point I rushed out of my room Only to see my cousin outside too Looking worried and dejected The “Ogongos” are over-used products The expiry date lapsed long ago The USP was a flash in the pan We both slept in the parlour Leaving the “Ogongos” in their different rooms It was a bad deal in a bad day.
