A Poem

Image by Success Akpojotor

Ah!
Oh!
Micaela left me for Joel
I wallowed in flabbergastation
At the hour which was a day to Noel
It was like an excruciating castration
As she voiced her deep belly
That I am not like her new boo
That Joel gave her many a flashy mint
And I am just a pen
But for Micaela, I trimmed flat my belly
To my ears, her voice was a pleasant coo
For her stream, I gave my red pint
Yet she ceased to be my hen

She was single in September
She dated Dayo in October
She enjoyed a civil union with Albert in November
She cherished her domestic partnership with Adichie in December
While single she kissed Cole on the same September
While with Dayo she was engaged to Onyeaka in the same October
While with Albert she almost married Alhaji Idris in the same November
While with Adichie I met and loved her in the same December
