The Groom's Family

We are the groom's family.
Ours is not like a poor home
Where they press clothes with bottle
And take pap for lunch.

The bride shall not eat peanut
But fresh fish and fresh grilled meat.
The bride shall not fetch water;
Her man shall fetch her.

Andrea Dietrich November 18, 2015 at 7:47 PM Very nicely done, Kayode! That seemed funny to me about the bride eating a peanut! Pretty cheap of people who do something like that! Kayod5 Kayode November 19, 2015 at 6:39 AM Thank you Andrea for the visit and the comment, I am glad you like it...hugs

Paul Callus November 18, 2015 at 3:26 PM An interesting comparison between rich and poor, Kayode. Pleased to see that the female is being treated with respect by her man! ~ All the best. // paul Kayod5 Kayode November 19, 2015 at 6:41 AM Thank you Paul...hugs
