A VISIT TO IN-LAWS

A VISIT TO IN-LAWS   Our Arts teacher, humble and kind Married a young beautiful wife On Sunday, sixteenth September The year of our Lord, the son   He arranged a visit to the in-laws To show appreciation and joy He soaked cassava tubers for six days And on the seventh, he cleaned them up   The cassava water smelled so bad The offensive odour was nothing to him As he cooked and pounded the fufu Then wrapped it with large plantain leaves   Cassava fufu on the back of his bike A giant mascot football for world soccer Rolled off the tandem on the hill of Atamong The teacher dropped the cycle and ran after   He tried to stop the ball with his leg Cassava circled left and rolled faster He ran in front, turned and took a dive The cassava looped right and rolled on   O! My God, you need to see the expression On his face that fateful and unforgettable day When cassava ball veered from the bridge And dropped into the fast flowing river   He had an agreement with the in-laws Prepare the soup, I will bring the fufu So when he was sighted without the stuff They poured the hot pot of soup on him
