Postponed Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Postponed



Let's crack these nuts now,
No, let's delay the exercise
But we agree to crack the nuts now
Yes, you see em, its not safe now
Why is it not safe?
As you see;
There are rodents around
Even weevils are thriving now
This season is not good for cracking
Besides our gardeners cannot guaranty protection
So, the safety of the seeds is unsure
But they have assured us that
When the hurly-burly is done
And the marauders are fizzled out
We will queue for the cracking
So, for now this is postponed, QED
Remember, I am holding the bayonet
You either take it or leave it
No more discussion on this issue
This is postponed.
The umpire is so directed
