I have managed
To procure a television set
Looking like a match box.
I have in my yard
A chinese better- than- my neighbour
Oozing with obnoxious fumes
I have abandoned Enyimba fc
And I am watching
European league
Now and then
It has shielded me
From the woes of dearth and penury
And all that my country
Has refused to offer
In the midst of bounties.
