I Chatted With The President! Poem by Adebayo Smartfingers

Today I chatted with the president
Got up from bed, do some house chores, had a cool shower, , , , , , ,
put on some raiment, stepped out of my abode.
I got to a subway, suddenly a loud noise echoed in my ears
A sound so deafening, a sound have never heard in many years
Sirens blowing, cars screeching, motorcycles shrieking, people applauding!
Behold His Excellency! Behold the Hero! Behold the Genius!
Hail the President! Hail the President, Hail the President!
Those were the song of praise on their lips
He walked out of a black limousine majestically
There I stood dumbfounded, I was speechless and dazed totally

Today, I chatted with the President
I was summoned by some men in suit
I complied and to their route, I followed suite
The President, His Excellency shook my hand
He asked: “Are you the writer of the book: Building a new Nigeria? ”
(I wrote no such book!) I answered in the affirmative
Silently I was admiring his appearance; he was dressed in an attire; a native
We sat at the rear seat of his limousine we chatted and chatted till there was nothing left to talk
We laughed and patted shoulders

Today, I chatted with the President,
He told me about his plans
He told me about his strengths and weaknesses
He told me about his sexual escapades
He told me his dark secrets
He told me how important I am in this country
He told me a lot about Nigeria’s history
He told me that someday I will help restore Nigeria’s lost glory
Today, I chatted with the president…
Today all this happened, it truly happened...but it was in my dreams…
