Ogedengbe Agbogungboro. Poem by Ifeoluseyi ifeoluwapo Ifeyemi

I know of a man,
Known by every clime and clan,
OGEDENGBE ABGOGUNGBORO.
Once a towering iroko,
In the jungle of the west
A man like a beast.
I tell of a legend
Overly mythical to understand.
Yet every ear wants it toldYet every ear wants it told!
Even when sometimes being cajoled;
As of fable to cradle,
Ours a life riddle.
In my tribe,
It is no blarb,
That OGEDENGBE ABGOGUNGBORO,
Indeed tied the knot with Ekiti and Akoko.
Not to talk of his many wives,
He acquired in his life strives.
Scars are the trophies of life's battles,
Sorrows are the rhythms of life's failures,
Yet you wore yours on your face
And it granted you the pace!
Indeed had Ogunmola known,
He would have had you at prune.
I shall tell of your myths,
Seasoned with mastery of wits and guts,
And your civility crusade
Which had my fathers saved
Reason why we sing of praises in my land
OGEDENGBE A
