Where’s Your Sting?- Adewale Sobowale

I’m so sad!

If the news I hear is accurate, then the Grim Reaper is blind. We all know death is a wicked spirit.

But for it to have harvested a pleasant lady is meanness carried too far. She sold drinks at Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta in Nigeria.

She had become a man because her clientele was made up of men. She had a nice word for almost everyone.

Her kindness made it possible for her husband’s friends to make her bar a must-visit. She went out of her way to make all of them comfortable.

She was an avid sports lover. I usually went around to discover they had gone to play soccer on Saturdays. She was usually the goalkeeper.

I wouldn’t think the elder of her two boys is up to five years old yet.

And she’s gone.
Just like air
Such a great soul
Now we do know
The difference
Between
Perfumed air
And its farty
Counterpart!

Rest on great lady!
