“Virtuous” Wife

You have gone to display your foolishness again
Woman, leave me alone!

Shameless man brandishing your testicles around town like a blunt knife
Woman I said leave me alone!

The blind deceives himself that he sleeps, when he is awake what does he see?
You tell me, tell me madam know it all!

E ee weeh, me! Akpaizu what have I done to you, may the gods never forgive you
You have started again!

The spirits of my ancestors hear my cry and descend on you
You have started!

No matter how the dragon fly soars it will still land on the toad’s tongue
Dream on madam tantrum!

Chei, me Akpaizu, me tantrum, look at you, you have forgotten so soon how you came crawling and begging my father for my hand in marriage
But I succeeded!

When the maize cob develops fungus it seems like nobody ever ate the seed
Necessity is the mother of invention you know!

Oh oo! But Akpaizu remember, remember that the old woman is never too old to dance to the steps of the music she once knew
Not when the hip hop is involved!

We shall see, you and me in this house we shall see who gets the last lau…gh… koho-koho Akpaizu water, water, please
Woman, the doctor has warned you about talking too much but you’ll never listen,

Koho-koho what am I to do, the blind never lets go of the cherry fruit found with the foot
Then tie me to your nkpuru and see how we will feed!

The gods forbid we shall always feed
Here drink some water and let me help you in!

I am going to the barn
No Akpaizu stay, stay with me or better still shut the door and blow off the lamp

  1. You write damn well. May the Gods bless your pen and may the oil that you burn as you craft these words not burn in vain. Keep it up, Lady
