Professor Yaw Darko
Hated Mr. P aul Arko
He claims he copies westerners
While he epitomises Africanness
II
He wears African colours
And hates all foreign “shudders”
He speaks in African tongue
And so feels among
III
He fights Mr. Paul Arko
Who is not like he Darko
Because he wears foreign
And drives cars like he is soaring
IV
Ei! Darko gets some money
And gets a car to get some honey
Before any African style could speak
He has reached his foreign peak
V
And so his people asks him
Why are you now called Tim?
He thinks aloud
And shouts, money maketh foreign
