GOSSIP CORNER; THE FOUL ARMPIT SECRETARY

GATHERER

Yieeeee!

Konkonsa served hot

Come, it is not to be bought

Bring your huge plates and fetch as you wish!

Gathered?

Kwame, watch the gate

Now listen!

Okay, guess what?

Impatient?

Let me open the news for it to cool

I hear Kwabena-Bena went for a party

Instead of greeting with his mouth

His armpit did the rude talking

Greeting noses and pinching heads

Until legs rushed out of the room for noses’ relief

AUDIENCE

Ei!

GO SPEAKER

And I ask, how much does lime

Sell itself?

What is the price of dressed armpit soldiers?

Why must he enter that well of shame

When bodies now talk instead of mouths?

SMELLER

Even common charcoal ash

Can bath his secretary well and good

That man is sure a primitive baboon

I won’t say I heard

I know this tale did happen

I was the first to flee

His clothes spoke class

While his armpit spoke trash

WORD

Aaaaba! Smeller!

Must you always be the witness?

And Gatherer, what is this?

Like a cat, you sniff it all

Rolling news like a huge ball

Playing from North to West

GATHERER

Leave him be and let me say

When time has travelled to this urban

Who sits for smelly greased armpit

To act as his secretary?

Say we are chirpers

But think of the toes we make to stand

See him, I know Distributor will do the whispering

And Kwabena-Bena will shut his secretary up

Won’t that be an achievement for him?

News served, now disperse!

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

Ain’t that true? Some people just sweat a lot but with modern advances that’s no longer an excuse. I shower daily, use a 24 hour deodorant but still find I sweat when I do strenuous exercise. The deodorant works well so I never smell bad.

I try to spread love far and wide, hard to do this is, sometimes. We should all be doing what we can to get along with our neighbours, after all this is our home – Planet Earth, in the 21st century can’t we agree to disagree? Civilisation is on the brink of collapse, hatred and fear are running wild. Could this be the end of days, long foretold, I hope not.

People like us are the best hope we have to survive as a species. You are such a wonderful person I feel privileged to be able to read your blog, find inspiration and warmth within your words. Through you I found Cameron and others, that alone was worth more than I thought I would ever earn!
