The King And I Poem by Folayemi Akande

The king and I were best of friend'
We fight atimes but make amend.

We dine together, wine we drink
We crack some jokes that sun may wink.

We love ourselves as friends may be
We cheer the town with sparks of glee.

Queen and chiefs were jealous of us
Our love brights as fur of a horse.

We rode the hills and down the caves
We sang some thrushes song and play
He held my hands and come away.
Into the caves where night is safe.

And there we were till time was gone
And came a man who blared his gun.

It was a day of fun and bliss
A cheerful town all time at peace.
