By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Although this may sound odd to you
You should take it in your stride
The iron gate has already been locked
So if you brought the pending files
Take them back home.

THE MIDNIGHT THIEF
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I saw him coming
I saw him a long time ago
He came at midnight
Bearing gifts of sycamore
Mameluke and gandourahs
He returned in the day
Waving bundles of mongrelized isacriots
Broken templates and stolen cadavers.
So, isn`t that enough evidence?

MY STATE OF MIND
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I'm fed up, simply fed up
Revolted, peeved, irked and raving mad
So if they tell you again we're all for Symbad
Tell them they must first sign up.

UNSETTLED DUST
(For Elias Pungong somewhere in Europe)
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Your passage made huge air waves
And caused endless stirs and ripples
But if Massa Clement had forwarded his samples
Moussa wouldn’t have sold his odd saddles.

RUMLESS HAM
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I don`t like ham
Although I live in West Ham
When I thirst for a bottle of rum
At once I catch the plane for Rome.

SELLING THE RAIN
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Just spell it again
And do so backward
So that when you`re handed your reward
Never again will there be rain.

THE HIGH COST
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
He tried to overtake
And it cost him his life
If you doubt me
Then step into the arena.

BABY CALLS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
It`s an entirely new sensation
Too good for Mobby Babay
Let alone unlimited calls
Just tune in when the parish priest arrives for confession.

ARABLE FARMERS
By Tikum Mbha Azonga
My bed has no marble
No sea rubble
But if you depress the throttle
All farmers will go arable.

THE TRUE LITMUS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Men`s eyes are dangerous
And women`s smiles, lecherous
So if you want the true litmus
Send for the designated heir of Didacus.

GRAMMAR IN THE LIFT
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
The lift was bad
And the roof, leaking
So when he started the imperfect tense
I picked up my jar and walked out.

POULTRY AS FAUNA
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
There are messiahs
And there are bad Samaritans
But what really matters is
The helmsman without the helmet
That`s why for all the Mazelike hens
We offer nothing more than
Kangaroos and still bones.

MY SACRED DUTY
(For Amon Clarisse)
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Success is an attention-grabbing word
Whether at Oxford or elsewhere
For some, it is an ardent wish
For others, it is a nightmare
Yet it is like crossing the unavoidable bridge.
For me it`s a nocturnal companion
I play with it and pray for it
It is my gauge, my yard stick
At the end of the day, that`s what my mentors demand
So I have a secret pact, to bring home success.

ENVIOUS FRANCIS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I thought honestly that the surprise trip
Was the beginning of a new chapter
Little did I know that it all came from the lip
So, today, who`ll bring us another rafter?

FACING UP TO IT
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Don`t axe the man
Simply ask him
He won`t eat you up
He`s not the bogeyman.

THIS ODD FEELING
(For everyone who loves the Oku Lake)
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
My ears are numb
And the tip of my nose, cold
Should I dissolve like water crumb
Or should I like the Oku fisherman return to the fold?

INDIAN BRIDGE
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
The first one stepped on it
But didn`t look
The next asked a question
And got stuck.

THE TIME BOMB
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
There`s something fishy about it
See for yourself
Where is the bottom part?
That means there`s no bottom power to it
Where is its log book?
Where is the fishing rod?
And you dare think this is normal?
Look, you`re sitting on a time bomb.

CHOIR GIRLS GONE BESERK
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
The choir girls have gone haywire
So, don`t spill their last dregs
If your only hope is lentils and sausages
Then you may as well throw in the towel.

CHILDREN AT CROSSROADS
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Back to school is here again
But we fear about the rain
If there's no one to hold the guage
Let's all return to the first stage.
