Election Palaver (Part 2) Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Election Palaver (Part 2)



The agents here everywhere
Scurrying, muttering and gesticulating
In last minutes effort to convert
Card to money
And money to card
As agitations intensify here everywhere

Cards with legs walk everywhere
With fins swim every nook
And wings fly every space
Into bidders pockets highest
Agitation, agitation everywhere.

(Thursday 25th September,1997)
