GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For Francis Mensah Joseph, the Provincial Delegate of National Education)


What about the back door?
Did you lock it?
I mean, like the Provincial Delegate
Or did you just shut it as always?

I know you didn’t mop the floor
But couldn’t you have at least swept it?
Now that I stand at the gate
How can you say my place is in the oven?
