Adebayo Sir Toby Cold Poems
- 1. Grandma's Story
In the 1800s,when i was born,
In a log house old as the sun;
Africa was as small hut by a shore,
You could trek it through in an hour
... - 2. I Want To Live And Go
I want to live and go,
But before i depart;
In my brain there is a big hole,
I want to fill with sciences and arts;
... - 3. Ten Virgins
Before my skin grow pore,
I think that the seashore;
Is the best place i had been,
Walked far from home as teen.
... - 4. Epilepsy Of A Baker Boy
You could not have survived,
Last night, you were almost dead
when you fell from sleep and collapsed
On this concrete floor, wiping your head
... - 5. When We Were Young
When We Were Young;
And i guess that wasn't quite long,
Crying was an habit we all grew,
we talked to cats and we knew
... - 6. The Black Ghost
Trundling and scuffling around;
Upon purlieus, hut-tops and facia,
If thousands rain of stones pound
Call out, search but none found;
... - 7. Patience And Greed (a Tale That Turned To Parable)
An avaricious man, for numbers of reasons,
Most of his friends were just as him too
Greed the father of patience and a trapper
Tramp so lacking, seemed Lazarus was better.
