What yams are thou?


Yam that got a permanent prick 
Yam in contention with its harvest
Got it fat; removed with a flick
But diet is the concern of an agriculturalist

Consumer sees beyond
While naming its price 
Got to examining its structure and bond 
Which communicates enough raunchy 

Yam that got a Chelsea buttock 
Yam of false human attribute 
A large buttock a stomach so paunchy
Rejected by no means a devise 

Woman sees nothing
While peeling 
Just to hurry
Not to make dinner goes well with sorry

Those yams grow in a fertile soil 
With no or little toil 
Such are in no time boiled
Better serve oiled

The pace setter 
The home of agriculture 
If i would ever be a bettor
Ibadan stands out in horticulture
