Alphabeti

Today’s topic is ‘Alphabet Poem’ (A 26 line poem. With each line starting with a letter of the alphabet). I know I’m not such a good poet but I know I have to still carry on with this project. So I decided to reduce the number of people that can read my poem. Yoruba people…

(H)Enjoy!

Barawo aye ati orun.

Daadaa ni mama e ko. Nkan Buruku lo ba tele.

Honestly, Abike acts like her parents own the world.
