Benn Age

There was a drunkard named Bernard
One day he scampered home like a leopard
Angry, the wife screamed: you are drunk!
Hiccupping, he said: I am your husband John,
...

Yet another day on Lagos Island,
Met the governor busy at his
Gardened secretariat.
There he was, frenzied and smiling
...

i don't want you
to know me,
if you know me,
you will
...

My Africa, my home
As I cast back my mind
To days before I left
Before you left me impotent
...

Wonderful woman
I just can't but wonder
How much I've come
to love her.
...

Running here and there
Scampering for daily bread
Between you and me
Ills eating deep in between
...

when i heard;
i mean,
when they told me
you were dead,
...

Darling, when you're close to me
There is the inevitable smell of balsam
Burning in my in my heart,
Consuming my very being
...

So would I, to blood once again
So would I
To my white queen
The stars have departed
...

At night she hawks;
Her pride hidden
Between her thighs.
And I desire her.
...

Singing for love
Every time you look up
Birds chirping in love's delight
Is made for your own design
...

...

My dad had just returned from England
He said the Queen laughs she's never sad
Lives in a fortress,
She's never had a distress,
...
