I was a guest at a home in some land
My hosts,a couple,were painted black white by nature
Heard that they have a lad,I asked of him
They say he has gone to listen to the city
Amidst our te te-ate,a phone ringeth
Alas! It was their son;

Mama motherly ask: "son,we were muted when our guest ask of you"
Where have you been?''
"Mother!" the son lamented,somersault his mother's question
"I am lost in London" he simply said
"How...how could that be?" The woman tautologised "This is Britain!"
The father sat as confidence as justice while I grasp in wonder land.


"Mother,I remember stepping out of door in the morning
Then I pick my dress at Thailand
I chose the footwear I wear in Dubai
It is then I remember that I am yet to bath"
''Such a dirty thing you are,son,"the mother scolded
He continued: "I off the dressings and dwell in Nile....."


"I am surprised to resurrect like Lazarus from Missisipi
Oh mother! I am as busy as Muhammad
As active as Da Vinci since my departion in the morrow,
For instance:
Pyramid told me to hurry,I did and met them at bowing position in Makkah
Wanted to join them,but I learnt I must first learn ablution in the Holy City of Jerusalem"

''When we finished,I turned and said: salam aleikum to The Stone of Unity in the deen
I turned to see a monk looking scornful at me
What did I do?,I asked
He mimed me to take a look at ways of Gautama Buddha,Prophet Zoroaster
Wanted to do as said when Jehovah Witness pulled me behind to preach the word of Messiah
Well...Mother,I did obeisance to them all."

''Such a tedious timid task it must have been for thee,son''
"The most stressful and brainstorming I ever participated in,I must confess
You need to see how near to death I was,like Mungo when I was walking out of Sahara
Mother,all because I am lost in London"
''Yet,son,where are you now?''


"I remember I just depart from The Hanging Garden
I was directed there when I behold The Great Wall,The Dragon Gate and The Colossus in awe
Mother,did you ever heard of a forbidden place?
Well here,they have a place called The Forbidden Kingdom"
"Does that spell you are in China,The Celestial Empire?"

"Can't say mother,can't say.For instance:
I have visited William Pitt,Jenny Lind,Democritus,St. Bonaventura amidst many,
I visited and wept at the graves of Teresa,Ezrah,and the bard of Avon,Shakespeare
As travelous as winds I have been
As inspired idiot as Oliver Goldsmith I seem to be
Oh! Also I pay respect to The Wisest fool in christendom,I mean King James 1."


"Mother,I am now an intelligentsia:
Homer taught me poetry,Chaucer polish my English,Herodotus teach me History
Alas! I am still learning rope of novel writing from Giovanni Boccaccio in Alhambra
Hippocrates learned me a medicine for white plague when she seized me
Sebastian Bach sings songs to my sick sole soul
Aquinas and John Ray collaborated to teach me Moral Philosophy in Natural History."

"Where are you now,son'' his mother snarled.
"After been a guest of Zwingli,Martin Luther,Alfred Nobel and more
After Pax wish me piece of peace,Uranus wish me heaven,Apollo give me Music
After Ate saved my heart from infatuation in mask of love
Oh Mother! Knowledge is a too voluminous thing
Finally,I am at your very doorstep"

She rushed to the entrance door,switch knob to behold her son:
He wears agbada on an Indian trousers,his footwear has a writing in Chinese on it
I guess he has changed the initial mentioned clothings at some place
"Mother,I am home,same body of different intestine'' He announced
I said: ''Young man,your Gulliveric travels reminds me of Dark Continent of lost ancestry''
He tittered and replied me: "You got it,sir and......"
