Greying me! by Adewale Sobowale

Hmm…

Some years ago;

wrote on my balding pate;

Another year, on the greying hair I did write!

I never knew growing to be a senior was yet to be done with me;

I’ve started growing a grey tuft on my moustache!

I do adore my moustache because it’s especially good for ferreting out impurities from liquids;

I’ll adore my white tuft more since it will as a sieve act in separating wheat from chaff!

I’m therefore advertising to every one

Who services

Of a poison sniffer needs;

And, for free;

Do contact me!

I guess my greying moustache will be very useful;

Not just for me;

But for all and sundry;

In sniffing out poisonous elements!

I hear it’s good for some other things;

If I use it to pray for people, the prayer should get to heaven at an express speed!

I dare not use it to curse;

Lest, phlegm–like, it sticks!
