NOT A FARTHOM MORE, NOT A FARTHOM LESS

(For Alice)

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Am I sure?
Even for a farthing
I’d stand clear of them
And call a spade a spade
So, as you can see
I’m cock sure.

I’m not a crook
Crooks put the cart before the horse
And call it expertise
As if they were the World Bank.

No, I’m a gentleman
Gentlemen see a man going the wrong way
And at once put him back on the right track
Even if they have to accompany Alice to Wonderland.
