Thirty million naira
Of a man’s sweat
Thirty million naira
Off a man’s brow
Gliding like a peacock along
Balance engraved on her legs
And nobility on her frame
While her rims sparkle with abandon
Shooting admiry eyes like a shotgun
As I stare awed like bunkum
As she flashes her lights at me
Its like a wink from Halle Berry;
And when she races
I remember the dotted spots of the cheetah.
She combines power and beauty
Like Queen Amina
While mixing allure and appeal
better than the chief chef At McDonalds.
Thirty million naira
Of a man’s intellect
Thirty million naira
Off a man’s ingenuity
Nearly having the brain of a man
Predicting a rough terrain
From a thousand miles
Navigating her lord effortlessly
From the hazards and obscurity of nowhere
To the lights and civilization of somewhere
Though with a flesh of fibre
She has a mind of reinforced steel
And the guts of a jail bird.
Thirty million naira
Of a man’s calories
Thirty million naira
Off a man’s biceps
When she coos at night
Offering the best of surround sound
Its Nightingalish;
But she turns official and formal in the morning
In a smooth mood swing
To keep her husband up to speed
And abreast of events.
Thirty million naira
Of my bargaining ability
Thirty million naira
Off my saliva for over two hours
And I get a young, nubile and smart princess
She is bitchy, powerful and rugged
Towering seven feet of raw muscle and hassle
But her most endearing trait i see
Is the three-pointed German tattoo in a circle
Near her waistline.
Ogbonna Nnaemeka Henry.
