PEPPER’S FLOWER

(Brother David and sister Peppertua in a room, David tries to sexually arouse Peppertua his fiancée)

David: Go and ask the suya man by the junction
Without giving test, his business won’t function
As we match to the gate of wedlock
Please don’t fasten your aperture with padlock
You claim your garden still holds its flower
O! Peppertua pity my knees and my eyes that shower
My restless feet yearn to test the depth of your river
If truly it is shallow, you hold my trust forever

Peppertua: The year is 2016
My love, just relax and listen
For 27 years, I’ve been holding this clean slate
After we tie the knot, I will serve you this food on a golden plate
This oil well of mine has been untapped since I was born
With the eye you can tell which is a ripe corn
Brother David! 3 months is not 3 years
Just dust your knees and wipe your tears

David: It’s is natural for my groin to boil
A small yam is used to recognize a fertile soil
What I’m asking is just a small, mini, minor… test
It’s a soothing balm to calm this internal tempest
My fiancée, I need to know you and you too know me
Don’t worry; hot pepper soup is eaten slowly
Peppertua: Hot pepper soup is not rushed.
David: It depends on the throat that it is flushed…
Peppertua: And you think I’ll fall hook, line and sinker?
Remember what happened to sister Yinka…
David! A restless foot will land on a snake pit
You need to put a knife between love and lust
If you love me, you will wait for me

David: Rubbish! Rubbish!!
That flower in there is a debt
You want me to be calm when I haven’t explored your depth?
What if your garden is full of bush thorns?
You think forever will be a cure for my heartburns…
