School bell rang
Pledge was said
Children sang.
Reading first on the bill
With groups according to
Proficiency and skill;
Arithmetic quickly
Followed before lunch time--
A subject most prickly.
Post lunch came lessons in history
Geography quickly followed it
Along with science, a mystery.
When we were sleepiest, teacher read
A story to hold our interest
We tried to keep from nodding our heads.
Last came music and creative art
End of the school day slowly approached,
We readied ourselves, glad to depart.

WHAT TO DO ON A RAINY DAY
When the Earth is cloaked in green
When each new leaf is alive, wet and waving
in the breeze,
What’s to do on such a rainy summer day?
I must try to dispel a certain lingering sense
of gloom
Because the scene out my window is just
wonderful! –
God, in his sleepiest, dreamiest mood,
Has given rest to the sun
And all the world seems at peace, a misty song,
A time to rest, to love, to dream along

The first duo
The candidate we can trust
Manifesto reads
War against corruption
The second duo
The best man for the jobs
Manifesto reads
The rule of law prevails
The apex of the duo
The life shortened
The good interred
With his bones
Emerged from the interred
Bones of the second goods
The third duo
Manifesto wears
Re branding Nigeria and Nigerians
Witnessing is dislocation
Witnessing is development
Of predators
Maimings and murders
Here and there
The predators
Is a celebrated gladiators
The manifesto
Is like glint
Let there be
Food on the table,
Sleepiest sleepyhead,
Foundation of a state
Engaged youths
Re brand served and serving Nigerians

It was deep in the middle of a knight night
suddenly,began a blithe breeze
the breeze of despondent.
it rose,rose heavily to a terror breeze
the breeze of terror change
the change to a tornado
the tornado of horror in dismayed
the dismayed like a dead horse,
that has been suffer a tease
of extremity droplet rain
I turn,turn to the side my infant brother
the brother that is yonder the night of
the world
snoring,turning,oozing like a cat in
a party of clamor
only a minute later escalated horrible a blasting
the blasting in endless time on our soggy zinc
but recently i rapture with fright thinking of the sleepiest night
the night of commotion
the commotion of unheeding
yet of whome frame my countenance in sorrow
i mumble endlessly in despair at the insane night
mournful i asked to thy helper in subsidition of the mysterious night
pleasant of all humanity tease the same with me.
