SAME OLD TRICKS

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

We’ve heard it all before
Don’t bother
Don’t even think about it
Why, Lord, why me?
What have I done to deserve this?
If I want daisies
I will buy them myself
If I want jewels
I’ll order it myself
If I want a ride
I’ll send for my finest horse
But not you
Certainly not
To e you’re just a misled fool
You need some growing up
But I won’t be your nanny
I don’t run q nanny state.
