The Buhari Brouhaha

THE BUHARI BROUHAHA 

We were agog
excited, impatient, and in suspense
 unknowingly ushering in the "gog of magog"
Oh! The mastery of his pretence!

Enmass, We obliged our franchise
Gulibly buying into their merchandise
here's my neighbours' drift, wise?
twill surfice me to do likewise

Where would the pendulum swing?
Would our "change' win?
We were on tenterhooks, 
Fell for the tender looks.

on the edge of our seats,
"See as our Heart dey beat"
 keen, anxious, and longing
We ignited the bombing.

The fanfare, the propaganda, the paparazzi
Ushering in the kamikazi
Much ado about "nothing"
The type that be hurting.

Buhari seems like a big deal, 
Coming with a huge fill
but twas a bunch of baloney,
The chili pepper effect on peperoni
