Goodnight! (for A Typical Lagosian) by Nobody: 11:05am On Jul 03, 2014 |
It's been one hell of a day My bones worked too hard to be okay Never has a day been like today So, on my bed let me lay! I wearily marched home Momma said "welcome" Papa let out a "well done" But I wouldn't answer; I felt numb Or maybe dumb! "Goodnight!" I said to everyone On my lumpy bed I now lay Reminiscing about this hell of a day: Traffic to work wasn't friendly at all The bus conductor had body odour! Rain came down in an unmerciful downpour I was drenched to the core Went very late to work My table had an unusual pile of paper work Met the stony face of "Boss" He threatened to show me the door! Lunch was scarcely seasoned with salt Halfway through lunch I had a nasty phone call From old Mr Billy who blamed me to a fault For being responsible for his daughter's hurt But how could I marry someone I didn't love? Coming back home, traffic was much worse Bus driver followed the wrong route; so we got lost! We wandered extensively in the city of Lagos Got robbed and badly handled by teenage hoodlums Trekked the long distance home; yearning redemption My head aching so badly, even Panadol cannot cure So "Goodnight!" -SpicyEve 2 Likes |
