Oh-Oh “ojo” Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Emmanuel “Ojo” Ojofeitmi,67,
-had a scalding ‘wet’ dream when he lay in bed.
His wife, Oyindamola,67,
- was convinced that he playing around with other women she said.
Oyindamola, her vigil was kept,
She was infuriated by her husband’s infidelity,
- allegedly got revenge by pouring a pot of scalding water over his genitals as he slept.
'I didn't know what had happened. By the time I woke up, the skin was falling off, '
-the Nigerian immigrant said.
Poor little “Ojo”, was he dead?
They have married twenty one years and they have four grown children
—and yet,
Emmanuel said his wife,
-who is originally from the Caribbean island of Grenada,
-is suspicious even when he hasn’t been cheating on her.
'She doesn't know how to forgive and forget.'
His wife, Oyindamola Ojofeitmi was charged with assault and harassment.
I, myself would charge her with assault and hisdictment.*
He wants to get a divorce from her and not have her in jail.
But as she attested to, she is hardly frail.
