My first guest post is from the beautiful Yemie. She doesn’t consider herself a blogger, though many of us know better 🙂 . However, I cajoled her into writing a poem for us and after fighting tooth and nail to decline the invitation, we finally got the beautiful, playful piece below. Yemie sizzles, for no other reason than that she expresses herself with everything she’s got. No holds barred. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Yemie!
Goofing Off In Fun Lines & Rhymes
Tick-tock goes the clock
A tap and rap on my door, knock-knock
I reach out and unlock
With the strength of a Jock
‘Write me a poem’, she sweetly coos
Chuckling, I belt out a sound ‘boo hoo’
And make a quick dash for the loo
‘You aren’t wriggling free of this one Cherie’, she cajoles
‘Oh dear! Do I feel like a Felon on parole’
A pocketful of lines, I must dole
‘However did I end up in this Hellhole?’
Totally zero to the bone
Struggling I hit a brick wall
Running into writer’s block, I fall
‘Dear Lord, please help me stand tall’
As I heed this unusual call
Like a ship listing away from the dock
I put my pen to paper and take stock
If I die I die, I mock
In all, I know I am a rock
On to the tick-tock, I don’t stop
I reel out my lines so tight, it’s no doo-wop
Hitting a home run, I yell out ‘Touchdown’!
Work done, hair down I go out on the town
O M G!!!
This is tight!
What did I expect? Is it not the goddess of words herself doling out words in verses and rhymes ?
Lovely this is and i had fun reading it out loud.

Thank you so much dear for rolling by this way to chip in these delighful train of thoughts! I remain deeply humbled! 🙇😇God bless and keep ya and all of yours! 😇😄

When I hit that third stanza, it was your cajoling voice I was hearing.
Great poem. But now you’ve ruined one of my favorite childhood songs: My Grandfather’s Clock. As it “tick-tock, tick-tock”s away in what is supposed to be a slow and dignified manner, for ninety years, without slumbering, I’ll forever instead hear the syncopated rap beats of Yemie displaying her versifying vigor.

We know better — nay, I know better Zee. This sizzles! Since she’s no writer or scribbler (tongue in cheek), perhaps she should be dubbed a lyricist; the type that refuses to be pressured… you know the pop-in-and-out type. A question though: who will bell the cat… I mean, the madam?
Wheeew! Now I think I’m spewing nonsense. Pardonnez-moi.

Wow! Its great having you here and well, you caught me with that ‘Lyricist’ line! I used to be something of a Junkie….an enthusiast of the hip hop and rap music culture way back in the days! I was big on that genre in the 80’s when all was sane, before the East Coast, West Coast dichotomy amongst some rappers in the 90’s that eventually birthed the infamous impasse between Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G; who happens to be one of my all time favorite rappers! And well, that feud took a downturn, spiralled outta control and ended up tragically! 😔 The Rap Culture has undergone some major changes nowadays, not totally appealing to me; but I still get high off of the memories of those days of old, when obscenities and violence weren’t the order of the day! 😊😄
When Zee approached me for a poem, I relived those days and I thought…..why not make it ‘hip’, ‘funky’ and ‘fly’?! 😤😎😂
…..aaaaand I guess it totally worked and folks be showing me a lotta luv and respec’! 😂😂 I don’t nurse a scintilla of regret doing this and its all thanks to Zee gurl; much love hon! ❤😄
Thanks again Omo Iya, you honor me and I remain humble! Lotsa ❤, rock ye on! 😄😊
