Fool’s gambit by Adewale Sobowale

Some uncouth fellow;

opens their trap;

says they to a k-legged;

your load’s askew!

Man,

tired, famished, undernourished;

in exasperation, replies,

look at my physique!

Babies in womb;

if not in apparent denial,

know most of our problems;

stem from the roots!

With situation unfounded;

human lives scattered;

we imbibe petulantly;

fabulous absurdities!

Deceits are our norm;

no wonder we’re serial;

victims of fool’s gambit –

a la carte!
