(For Njeke Ngwa)
Shall these glories ever light up again?
Or shall they like the Titanic, go down for ever?
When all,that glitters ceases to be gold
Then shall we the down and out rise and walk.

THE MISSING PARCEL
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
Where did you send it?
And how did you send it?
If you did so from Kousseri
Shouldn`t it have been from Kribi?

THE BARTENDER`S BILL
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
The bar is tender
And the bartender, sober
If we insist on the receipt
He`ll go downhill.

A GIFT TO REMEMBER
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
My, how thoughtful of you!
And how very nice of you!
This is just me, this gift you have made
It`s me in every way.
You didn`t have to, but I know you for being blue
You were careful enough not to make it a shoe
Yet it`s squarely within the trade
And like my mother`s market day pots, it`s made of clay.

COUPLES AS FLOATING APPLES
By Tikum Mbah Azonga
I`m not money-minded
So, put back the three pistons
That`s what friends are for
Even if they`re miles apart.
Although my snow balls may be rounded
My wife and I are no pinons
Neither are we omniscients
We`re just two apples floating on a cart.

CURRENT NEEDS
Her needs are acute and urgent
So we can`t wait for Sunday
If the cheque reveals real value
Then, why; cash it at once.
He isn`t the regent
Although he`s in the fray
The fact that he`s called Kalu
Means any shadowy requests will bounce.
