THE SILVER LINING

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For Dr. Nyamndi George)

Check them to be sure
And do so now before the Dean wakes
If there are any backlashes
Pick up the enveloped silver linings
And promptly return them to him
Refund them to Monsieur le President
Remember next year is a landmark one
It will be make or break
First past the pole
And we want our President to win
The only snag is that
The professor won`t be there to savour the victory
He left us
He left us too soon
He took of at the eleventh hour
So was he being tactical
Or did he mean to torpedo?
