At the Poetry Festival,
The younger participants
As Mr.Town And Miss Town,
Mr.Handsome and Miss Beautiful,
With a vanity bag hanging from
And the lips covered with the lipstick paint,
Participated in,
Mr.Town and Miss Town
Though wanted they to have a rendezvous presence
But they lacked in to be disco jockeys,
Anchormen or presenters
Waiting for a big launch
And publicity.
Falling short of being DJs,
The TV anchormen,
They tried another trick of coming
Into the media limelight,
They tried utmost to sing their poems,
But could not
As the throat was not so lyrical
Of a singer,
So tried they to give a dance,
Not classical,
But the folks
They belonged to
To make it indigenous and native,
I mean to add the local colour
To the event.
