Sneaky Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Remember good old days
When you tried to sneak me in
Suddenly your Dad's flight was aborted
I still got that scar
That bullet wound on my ass

Remember the other holiday
You said the coast was clear
Like the rivers of Babylon
I sat like King Kong in your parlour
When your mother knocked
The Dog route, the only route

Each time the clock slowed
I cursed who made the "second count"
I earnestly waited for free calls
Then I sneaked out into mosquitoes
Even though they feasted on me
Your sweet voice was my anti-malaria

When I sneaked you in 10pm
And sneaked you out 6am
Tell me, how did you feel?
We felt like invisible ghosts
Masters of the game
Until you missed your visitor
Thank God Nurse Beauty was handy
Sweet old memories...

The one I'll never forget
After we beat all hurdles
You forgot your shoes outside
I never forgave you for that
I still have the scars
Your brothers do not have joy at all
Then I knew love is wicked

Have you ever been smuggled into a sack?
Ever been made to hide in the toilet?
Did you ever jump the fence?
Or turned "Arrangee" mathematics teacher?
Have you ever become an instant Pastor?
All for the one you love?

That woman is a monitoring spirit
Her words, "My son, won't you greet me? "
I felt a cold sensation immediately
I thought I was a Mafia
But your mother, she holds the ace
Good news, she welcomed me afterwards
I just love those fond memories

I once jumped from your window
When your girlfriend came calling
The hard way, the only way
I was a freaking side chick
I have forgiven you though
If only we can but one more time

Now it's your turn to spew
Did you ever get caught
Tell me about those sneak freaky moments
You got the juice
But paid the price
We all have those moments
When we risked all for love
Now tell me, did you?
