Kolawole Ajao - Ogidimo

Ogidimo,
That was the splendour of my boyhood
In the southwestern divide of our land
Where my mother excreted me
And gave to me
The milk from her chest
Whence I also began to toddle
And sprout teeth and wing
Thence we rollicked in insectiviewing-
Our best kind of gaming,
We hunt,
We nurse,
And watch Ogidimo:
The largest species of beetles.
