GAMES IN HIGH GEAR

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

We all watched the games
We watched them from the emperor`s porch
And so missed nothing whatsoever
They were grandiose and highly choreographic
The Koreans weren`t there
But it didn`t matter
Because we had the Chinese, friends in deed.

Here for once
Paper documents didn`t matter
Although we had them
It was just for form, a mere formality
And of course, when the Commissioner came out
He didn`t ask for them
He instead asked for a shot of whiskey.
