stanza 1
Gazing through my spectacles,
I began to observe the environment,
ding-ding and kpla-kpla were the sounds,
The class's state made me wallow in disdain.
stanza 2
I had swerved my eyeballs off my book,
The noises got me in a hook,
There was argument on one end,
The other end got me confused.
stanza 3
I leaned my forehead on the table,
With my long tie facing south,
T'was as if I had visited the market,
But suddenly silence visited.
stanza 4
The atmosphere was filled with serenity,
Thought death visited all except me,
My heart beating in nano-seconds,
To clear my doubt I looked up hastily.
stanza 5
All eyes focusing on the same direction,
With curiosity I followed suit,
Her beauty caught their attention,
Behold! It was my inamorata.
stanza 6
Having her was like heaven to me,
Her beauty was immeasurable,
If I were God I would take her as wife,
Kpoho-Kpoho - she's MY INAMORATA!
