30 Days Of Poetry Season 3, Day 13 "Food For Thought" Pix Inside by lyricalpontiff(m): 3:08pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
FOOD FOR THOUGHT Thoughts of you eat my nightmare I met you in a dark bar, sipping a light beer I bought you orange soda; I had a crush on you You were pepperish, red hot like Yoruba stew The kind of crush that can turn meat to paste Your friends took table water, they had no taste But when they ordered for sea foods, I smelt something fishy I already had enough on my plate, plus I no get shishi Pepper been no rest, not even tomato I just go borrow underground like potato Come dey burn bread any how like a bad toaster I’ve sugar coated lines; I’m not a bad toaster You were sow (so) fly, I wanted winged pork But the dumb waiter didn’t give a fork Like heated ice cubes, I let out steam Your friends treated me like hot ice cream In fact like a cannibal, giving me cold shoulder Because I’m not a star or hero, I just turn gulder I’m Soda like mineral but you gave me high spirit You didn’t give me beef, venison was it Chiking you was time consuming like eating a clock It was all piom piom free, I didn’t suck I clutched at straws; you gave me reply in sips Just like pan cake, you gave me creeps (crepes) You accepted me with a pinch of salt Your past is a soured soup, not your fault This love is warming inside, I’m like pots Like my cashew driver, you drive me nuts I know my onions but you make me cry….
