He Took Feminine Name Poem by Haruna Garba

At the neck of the woods
When trip was made on foot
Here was a couple enroute
And here emerged a thug
Hey you two stop! He barked
And with quivering nerves they stood
Let me get the girl's name first thing
STELLA, so she said
Too much of a coincidence, said the thug
Had it not been similar to my mother's name
I would have done you ill
And you, my old boy?

STARRRLA! The husband said
Starla- another girl-name
