Premium Member Joe B Wan-Kenobi

Joe thinks the sun's causing global warming
  He'll block the sun's rays from ever forming
    An idea so nifty
    Undeniably thrifty
  And Pelosi's cold heart needs some warming

Prince Obi Wan

Prince Obi Wan is not a morning dog, you see —
He grumbles and he fusses, when awakened,
Just like me!

Wherever I am, You will find him there,
He is my flame through time,
That shall never fail,
With him, I have not one fear,

He howls his complaints,
When things do not quite go his way –
Yet even still, he is the best part,
Of any given day!

He sings with heart, for all to hear,
He gives each song, all he has,
That is –
My Prince Obi Wan, my little fur-man,
Now his body has gone,
Yet even still, his spirit remains,
I feel him each place I go,
He will always be with me,
This I absolutely know.

I Wan Yan

I don take my eye look every 
mata
come conclude sey life no 
make sense
to sense

those wey dey **** for house 
no sabi
read even those wey dey 
feed  
the children na olodo

If  person no know him 
purpose for life
e no better sey him ask baba 
wey dey
for up?

but wait make I ask
wetin I dey try talk self
You sure sey this no be 
madness?

I here sey church people 
madness dey start
from clapping but this one na 
writing
I dey write abi this one na 
madness too?

I get questions wey I wan ask

why ebi say na  armed 
robbers no dey
dey armed again and criminals
no dey commit crimes ?

Why Abacha no gree accept 
the woman
wey give her abacha?

Why police like to dey arrest 
guys wey dey
sell cocumba for Balumba?

Why ebi sey if dey cure 
madman
him go still they talk nonsense?


Obi-Wan Has Taught You Well

(Dedicated to Sir Alec Guinness who died August 5, 2000.)

You starred in Star wars as a Jedi knight.
Darth Vader killed you during your lightsaber fight.
People still love those Star wars films because they're fun.
It was genius when George Lucas cast you as Obi-Wan.
You returned as a ghost in episodes five and six.
Your contribution improved those three flicks.
