MAHOGAMY – Adeoya Ajibola (worthy of mention poem)
‘Sap’-iosexual his was for girth not wit
Sapiosexual that bit of ‘Junk in the trunk’,
Luscious chunk of deciduous wood,
Pulling a leaf out of a fool’s scalp,
He said, “Lettuce marry.’’
“Wood you Maple take me as ‘your- lawnfully’ weeded...”
See, he seeded right...and soon
They were joined in ‘holly’ ma‘tree’mony
Tree and man before Satyr, men, and trees;
3 ‘carrot’ ‘almond’ ring
Knots tied around girdles,
“Ouroboros”
Knitting vows on dotted lines;
‘Fern’- in embers in old logbook”
“Together forever”,
They say, “It’s the thing we do for love”
Padre says, “It’s the thing we do for log.”
But those poets think they can die for love
“Can you die for log, Padre?”
“Probably in a poem”
Bouquet, Bouquet
Disconcerting!
