57 BIRTHDAY SHOES FOR JOLLY JO

Read Time:42 Second

without the comfort of a shoe
he came as the missing clue —
less one reason to worry
“O, crown him! Hurry!”

this fishing jonathan
can’t kill a spartan!

his land lies shekaued
covered in iboric shroud
pdp-ed and apc-ed at wheel
in reverse goes the nations will

if one good turn deserves another
a bad turn deserves what? I wonder!

today Jo x-marks the 57th calendar
we think ‘transformation agenda’
he thinks a second ascension
and pays us no attention

the immigration thing
did any of you win?

this land is thorny
boko is blood horny
ah, why did we choose
a man who had no shoes?

my people, if forward we must go
let’s buy 57 birthday shoes for Jolly Jo
