Nosy Parkers Poem by Kunle Adebayo

Agiliti (the iguana) is marrying
The lizard is giving out
A daughter in marriage
Then came the butterfly
Swearing blindly to dance
Till her attire is severely torn
Who among d two is her relative?

The one given d antidote for pregnancy
Refuses to conceive
Haba! The one given the antidote
For pregnancy refuses to conceive
And see it is she, yes it is she
The please-let-me-have-a-taste-of-it
That actually bears a set of twins

Free me, let me talk to all of them
Yes let me lash them with these pitiless
Pitiless axiomatic error-correcting lines
For should my pen's mouth keep mum
They-the nosy parkers, The i-know-it-alls will not know
Where their loft leaky lives
Require a concrete correcting touch

Mind your own business, sister
And yours too, brother
Alas! what is the job of a caretaker
Where it rends the air
The shout of 'happy married life'
