All these and more we were hailing d boy

I was lying flat on the ground

Another guy was fanning him

And d last guy was touching his head with our guy’s hand and shouting “master bless me… teach thy servant thy ways that I mayest prosper”

“That withersoever I goest…. I shall be a fisher of women… pretty women such as thou art with …. bless me… I pray thee.. O thou great king”

We were sha catching fun….

Laughing and teasing our man

Dancing round him

And salivating already from the aroma of the food we were perceiving

Today na today….

Knock knock

“Guys food is ready”….

She was about to serve the food

But there was not enough drinking water…

And so I ran downstairs to buy some.

Setting fire to our mouth

Killing our taste buds

Drinking water like mad

“How is d food” she would ask

“Fantastic, inshort av neva tasted anything like dis in my life before”

And she was blushing…

I dint understand how a food dat smelt so good ended up like dis…

But we continued eating

Tears filled ma eyes

D girl was laughing and telling her boyfriend how much of a tremendous actór I was

Cos she was interpreting them as tears of joy.

Each swallow

Dat in whatever way we had wronged her

She should forgive us

Dis was a wrong way to die….
