By Tikum Mbah Azonga
It was nothing, I bet you
Only filth, sad memories and dirges
Only those obstacles blocked the passage
Panicky, the pastor dropped the chalice.

EMPTY SNAIL SHELLS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I was mad with myself
For I did not grow false teeth
My foes knew that only too well
So they sent me baskets of empty snail shells.

MY SECRET WISH FOR YOU
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Nights of endless distress
Days of nothing but a no return mistress
That`s what I long for you sorely
And that`s what you`ll get daily.
Single handed, you sold the printing press
And bluntly rejected any redress
For a lawyer, you chose dubious Faure Menget
Not knowing that would all lead to nowhere but Tibet.

THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Words are a dangerous companion
Although also a necessary evil
They`re like a shaft without an anvil
They can flatter, but also auction you to the next companion.

GEORGE FUL`S POT
(For George Nyinying Ful, my class mate at Sacred Heart College, Bamenda)
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Why should I bark
As if I had a tree bark
The boiling pot is full
But please, don`t tell George Ful.

OBVIOUS QUESTIONS
For Brother Best, my former colleague at the John Loughborough High School in London
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Put it back in
But don't force it, boy
If your mum thinks it's a ploy
Then show her the mayor's inn.

ODD RANTINGS
For Kaye Whiteman
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Is your name so sacrosanct?
And do you believe you`re on safe ground?
If the Lord Mayor`s animal bellows
The only thing you`ll have to do is rant.
