Saw chiro ‘bout a kink in the neck,
saw the x-ray and said, “WHAT THE HECK?!?”

In my armor instead he wore
Now lays dead, my friend of honor
Petroclus, Oh! The grief I bear
Cannot be wiped away like tears.
Long will I suffer his demise;
Lost forever, our mortal ties.

My lifelong friend lies before me
His emaciated body
Dressed in his “Best Mans” tuxedo
He wore so...

  "No pain, no gain" leaves one worse for the wear,
  a torn achilles, a rotator tear..

In the fantasizing brains of all Nigerian Fulanis,
Including their kindergarten still urinating on nannies;
All the entries and exits within country’s Aso Rock
To keep obeying their adjustable, Fulani clock!
Presently, the unstoppable aspiration of the Purest Hausa teens
