AJOKE ALATE

For the first time in many moons
It's has been said to be a felicitous moment again
The sun is set and the hour is happy
The priest is out of the pavilion, ready to perform the rite of omoge Alate

I don't really have all days to paint the platform
But your beauty deserves to be praised till my pen stops bleeding
Ajoke, the only answer to the riddles of men's feeling
So, a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall
Which explains why the glances of men had tailored your beauty to the end of their wits

My dog has ran into your clement yard
Barking and making explosive noises at the tempting shadow
The dog is neither mad nor insane
For what it sees is worthy of dying for

Truly the sages are always right
When they say, it's easy to prepare vegetable soup with mouth
Likewise very easy to cut the bush with bare hand
But without adding sugar to my poem
Your type is rare in the assembly of maidens
