Very good post as usual @Afronuts and I’m looking forward to the next one

This is really good, it made me smile. I wish I had seen the pidgin version

The story is good, and I actually enjoyed some of the rhymes.

I usually enjoy your poems and this is no different.

Nice poem. I was actually looking for a fresh angle as I read…

I like the hopeful aura around this poem, all the lines were imbued by it.

Surely we will smile again.

What a well written piece.
