The Day I Laid Egg

The day of torment House so tense and humid Eagerly expecting trouble Death just at my door Armed robbers’ eyes with blood stain Yearning; ‘lay an egg or be killed.’ I shouted--- kaak kaak preparing to lay an egg Lying on my pot belly Air no longer fresh--- impure It was sulphur hot--- I started pushing Due to fear, I had to lay an egg; at least one Eyes of theirs flooded with laughter Gun dull nozzle points the floor--- their fingers at me Giving me a chance---look at this hen hahaaa heehee hiiihiiii Safely, I left money and escaped with- --eyes on my buttocks
