The Comedy House Ii: The Rats Poem by Joshua Adeyemi

Bewitched with irri-
tating glows, they ransacks the
purse and 'ijawo'; those rats!

Breaking news;
The Headline: '3 husky rats
ransacking the purse of the nation
.'
The news: As noted in the
headline of today's consciousness-leaking
news. We'll have to say this with
Annointed regret that 3 hoodlums
With pointed teeths had just robbed
the nation of a frugal amount
of papers. Hence, the federal
government had just concluded to
Deep their anxious hands into the
weeping purse of the nation, with regards to
buying a distilled insecticide
to eliminate the husky hoodlums.
Hence, the federal government has
taken '4 billion naira' to carry out
this operation, respecting the uninterested
interest
of the masses. Here is the news.
N.T.A 7: 00pm. Deola......'

Prophesy has come to
pass. 'Ekule Ole' and cray fish
not worth than #5,000. When
mingled and moistured can
conspicously carry out the opera-
tion successfully. Then why
'4 billion naira? '- won't accept this
offer if to me offered.
Such amount for rats? ........
Hmmm....these rats!

Who are these rats? -
Rats with two hands, two
eyes, two legs, a nose.
Rat whose glottis is active.
Full of themselves, claiming rights
Graced with deceptive life swimming
and vividly drown in ocean of lies.

These rats!
Leaves their abode at
mid-day, travels to other
forests to hunt riches.
Hunt? ..... No! , squander the
riches they've gotten from
the purse of their masters- suffering
masters.
After showcasing their wealth
In those forest. Then, they'll
saunter back into
the waiting cupboard and steal
'Meats from pots', 'Eat some part of
the bread- they're already satisfied'.
They'll resume their usuall relay.
And return the same circle.

Maybe you know those rats.
Those rats on Agbada-mehn!
Driving luxurious jeeps, living
in braw duplexes bewitched with
fumming air conditioners.
Those rats that are always hungry-
contending for post and Ranks.
Buying different PARTS for their
Draining CARS.
Hope you know these rats.

I think we truly need to
eliminate these RATS with
Iron insecticides, pushing them
into the ocean of remonstration
and patriotic regrets. Those
RATS should go through those famished
Bullets! .
Or what do you think?

Hmmm.....these rats!
