A Lesson In Language

Did Fabu come from fabulous
       Like Kudeti
                         & Oke Sapati
                             
                                    they've always been
the most wonderful moralists, my clansmen
separating gay consonants with virgin
vowels like in                              Bible
                      or Al'basal

and firm believers in procreation, forcing
celibate consonants to spawn bastard
offspring like in                         Satan
                          & Biscuit

there's space for every foreigner, so even
a Cosmonaut becomes an adire-donning
Kosimonatu with a conspicuous number
Eleven dripping down both cheeks
Like the leaning Tower of Pisa

In his grave Oduduwa turns
Sango flashes lightning-white
Teeth in acknowledgement

I am proud and think how
Do you make Olowogbogborokariaye
A Caucasian in three piece suit, speaking
Through blushing nostrils.
