I write poems for sly smirks and laughter
I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll
A reaction to some nonsense thereafter
Something to ease the ache of life’s toll
I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll
A clever play on words in my wordplay
Something to ease the ache of life’s toll
A headshake with a grin on a hard day
A clever play on words in my wordplay
You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker
A headshake with a grin on a hard day
I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker
You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker
I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see?
I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker
To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty
I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see?
A reaction to some nonsense thereafter
To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty
I write poems for sly smirks and laughter

KITTIWAKE
CH: Kittiwake, kittiwake Naija. 2ce
Old man na snake
Young man na fake
Looking for what to rake
CH: Kittiwake...Naija. 2ce
Overtake all overtake
My people awake
Make no mistake
The blows not for our sake
The reason for this quake
Is just the biggest cake
CH: Kittiwake... Naija. 2ce
Overtake all overtake
Waterman for shortcake
Rockman for cheesecake
Water or rock for pancake
Tribe is just the mandrake
Awake, my people, awake
CH: Kittiwake...Naija 2ce
Before, before na handshake
Now e kom be headshake
The headache na the hotcake
Earthquake,Seaquake, Skyquake
Wetin sef no go quake?
CH: Kittiwake...Naija 2ce
