It takes two to Tango, cos it's Valentine.

Dear Valentine 
We make hay when the sun shines
Even when you're nice and kind 
It cannot get you a good ride
Cos without money, you're broke, niggre

Dear Valentine 
You left singles in the wonderland
Who cannot but go to places like shrine
To while away their worries with time
With a cool background disco track

Dear Valentine 
Rest in heaven and not hell fire 
February 14, a day to remember
For lovers even when it's illlegal
With results showing in the -ember*

Dear Valentine 
It only takes two to tango
To enjoy the atmosphere that bubbles
With night that comes with the cuddle
Thus, getting in will not be a riddle

Dear Valentine 
It takes two to tango
It takes a wise one to be single
And not ready to mingle
Like a baboon in the jungle, with shingles

Dear Valentine 
We can't be single forever 
Looking back, the journey is too far
All alone we can go to the soundbar
Eat shawarma and take some chilled star

- Acetyl (Feb., 2020)
In celebration of Valentine day

APONBEPORE...an encounter

Episode One - By Acetyl APONBEPORE is a yoruba pynegyry which literally means a lady whose complexion looks like the colour of palm oil; mostly used for a beauty. Left to me and some other active guys, our sense of visions are used in stylishly assessing the beauty of anything that passes satisfying our limbic system of emotions. It was on a very busy Monday morning when the school just began a new academic session. As freshers, we were seated calmly at the 200- seater geology lecture theatre (GLT) awaiting the arrival of Mrs Okorie - an old, persuasive, English lecturer in her late 50s who always used half of the time to call attendance and the other half to make us read from the GNS textbook. After few minutes before the arrival of the lecturer, a young lady in her 20s walked in through the main door which was just at my 10 o' clock. What a beauty to be amazed, it left me looking skeptical wondering if such being had ever been created. She represented a perfect icon

NOTHING SPOIL...

They beef while I smile When I laugh, they bleed At the end of it Nothing spoil My presence, an headache  My movement, a migraine  When I joke,  they cry  Nothing spoil In a corner, they meet To gist and backbite About why I progress  But nothing spoil  When you hate, I know Even if it doesn't show Pls don't stop hating  Cos I get motivated  I may not be handsome But I'm cool I may not be gentle  But I'm caring I may not be stuffy  But very well loaded I mean very well Cos nothing spoil I'm not bothered but bored That's why I put down some words In case it may serve as record                            After all nothing spoil

Bleeding Vessel

I'm a loner on this street I'm a hustler without bills No strong thing, no hard feelings Just yet to locate a heart beat With same rhythm on my ECG Been single, is not a real deal But going alone to see a movie Not even with a paid side chick Every day, getting loved is a film trick Confused me, oh confused inner peace Even a lion gets a lioness Also a man from village, without digress Will eventually get a mistress Out of the things that put man in distress Being loved by the one you love, is priceless In my diary, is going to Soweto  Not to buy corn or potato But to be by your side as a commando Without much ado Let's say, I win a lotto Don't leave me chattered Like an alcoholic with ataxia Don't let my heart beat faster It may cause an atrial flutter With a pulse that's irregularly irregular - Acetyl
