Ìyàwó wa- they warbled with roses rambling all over the mezzanine
Lidded in garment, she steps in regally to survey a sea of heads- solicited and crashers of gate
Celebratory clatters stumbling on another

The groom; proud of his catch- the cynosure of eyes- learned and seasoned- a quintessential arewà
He beams consistently- he would have passed for a slowpoke on a quotidian basis; but today, he is the auspicious man
'Ìyàwó wa', the uneducated scholars of culture rehashed in their attires-uniformed

Basking in his clean moral record, he didn't worry; but for the bride's heart which pounds like a rabbit's at a lion's mercy
The cup glides- portal shut on odium- and after the sentence the bride manacled her guiltless offender
Pity him not- that sentence we shall all get; but for the wrong officer on his own very case

Till death do us part, they said after the old priest...
Bernard came- the boy who did the bride as a teen
Bolaji attended- he once did the bride at the stream
Lamina was on seat- the one that tasted the goody on the way to the farm
Akanni came- the labourer who bought her wrapper off without force
Hmmm. Yes, Danladi, the boy who sailed through just because of eloquence
And the best man is Abubakar's son- the one who was once the active husband of his friend's wife.
And there was still the headmaster who accessed the bride's slate only once.

'Ìyàwó wa', the father-in-law said convincingly as he sips the prayer gin- but it is true- she is our wife;
But those who know that won't just call her
And the mother-in-law's prayer was a mere cliché- the bride shall conceive- but in her belly is a two months old foetus. Yet, the groom has never had a kiss permission granted.

Don't know if the iyawo has truly been passed round but I must say that your writing is impeccable.I want to be like you when I grow up.
