A TRAY ON THE MOVE

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I`m not the king of the linchpins
If anything, I`m the governor`s octopus
I blaze the trail before his caravan passes
I don`t get to see the mayor often
Because he pays allegiance to the regent to the throne
If you want to know about the woman
The same one who stormed back from Calabar with gagged stewards
Then I`m afraid you must wait for the lone baker to open his shop
Bakers are very touchy on Wednesdays.
