Crazy Trackers Poem by Haruna Garba

At the neck of the woods
Trackers made a catch
Catch of a thief
With the property recovered
Next was the law
But how to take him there
A tracker had a horse
And a horse has got a tail
So they bound him to it
With the rider riding on
Through thorns and brambles
On to a Samaritan passerby
Who said hell, you driver, wait
What is really going on?
You cruel or something?
And he was told
That a thief was being taken
Yond to the hands of law
And the thief hoping for good words
To be put in for him
Got the utmost shock of his life time
For the Samaritan only resolved
Death was more merciful than this


Come on pull on, said the thief
Please, ride on
Ride on, in the same manner we've come
