Poetry

By

Ngozi Olivia Osuoha

I AM A GUNNER

From the inner

It is a burner,

From the corner

It is greener,

Like a banner

It looks commoner,

By the manner

It is not finer

For the sojourner

Or a mourner

Who turns a prisoner,

And a wretched miner

Lives not like a winner,

For the lustful sinner

Who mocks at the dinner

Is not cleaner

Within the liner,

So every learner

Who is keener

Might appear thinner

If he raises the turner

To chase the hardener

Who Manns the returner

Because I AM A GUNNER

TUCK

Along the rock

Near the block

Far from the lock

Beside the dock;

With the flock

May we not get stuck

So that even a knock

Will bring us good luck,

That with the truck

We drive home the stock;

For us to suck,

So as they lurk

To kill with fork

We shall flee like a jock

Give them a shock,

Scribble it as a mock

And send it to TUCK
