Tony Adah - The Corn Farmer

He has managed
To plough his field
And the corn in the
Eye of the storm
Has risen from the
Pressure of the winds
Cobs have formed
And tassels like
A Chinese beard are
Swinging in cool
Breeze in the field.

Weaver birds abound
And the farmer's efforts
Seem to avail only in the empty cobs
Monkeys too have a field day
But will the farmer fear them
And plant his corn
In his own house?

Tony Adah
