DINNER AT THE KING’S YARD
DINNER AT THE KING’S YARD
It was dark and quiet
Seldom, if sun rises at the moment
Fracas at the market
Sun has lose it sight
Birds showing what they’ve got
Plainly from the gut
Sonorously without faults
On the Iroko tree near our hut
When a boy stares
At the moon
When the gorgeous stars
Changes a hopeless man’s mood
Princess Adetoun made for me
A call ought not to be missed
Out of this planet I mean
Shall one resist Her Highness appeal
Several thoughts accommodated my heart
Just that night
Boldness engulfed my earth
But the call remained hid
Dinner with the King
For I’m not handsome
Lively and gregarious like some
Compared to Saul
My boldness was for that night and that’s all
From head to toe
Joy found my mournful soul
“You’ll eat with her in one bowl”
A guard whispered in low tone
Humbly I sat
And the princess told me I’m like her heart
Though being to the north and south
Yet, I transcend her heights
Like the honey’s taste on a sour paste
Was our soul after the delicious taste
We fell in bed with uneasy haste
We wrote it a memorable date
