I KNOW THAT WOMAN

Through thick and alleys,

I've sought for water to the valleys.

None can help my thirsty stream.

No! Not eve the oceanic sea.

But I know a woman!

Whose water quenched my moans.

Whose silky wear glow like the stars.

A woman with a loyalty loyal.

But I know of a woman.

She reached menopause – like 35,

– She still bears kids so bright,

Without cowardice they fight with fright.

I know that woman.

Who has the milk of life.

Who all kids cling to dine.

That's why I'm a Nigerian.
