The Story I know Nothing About

As I picked up a high school magazine from the serial section of our school library, titled Voices of the Queens, a publication of Government Girls' Secondeary School, Yola, this morning, I found in the Riddles page a creative writing by one Atuna Dauda. It interested me and I thought I should post it on my blog 'cos I like blogging. It's titled:

The Story I know Nothing About

Goddnight Ladies and Gentlemen
I stand before you to sit behind to tell you a story I know nothing about.

Before that any way, listen to this announcement.

There is going to be a general men's meeting for women only.
while coming put on your best clothes since you have none.

Admission is the only if you can pay at the gate.
There's going to be lot's of chairs but you'll have to sit on the floor.
Anyone who comes early would be given a from seat at the back of the hall.

Now to my story.
One bright morning in the middle of the might, two sick men woke up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other.
Bought out their sword and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the sound and ran to the spot where the sick men lay.
However, if you think that my stay is a lie, then ask the blind men and women. They saw it too.

A ladder Made of Sand

I just thought of the bad day I had last week on the day I was to register for classes and I remembered five years ago when I felt a similar way and deceide to blog on it since blogging is one of my hobbies.

They gave me dune to climb
to the peak of my success
Telling me they shall see my down fall.
It was the beginning of mix feelings.
Poor me whom God has not caused,
No one can cause.
It was the day meant for happiness but sadness planned to take combart.

It was the day when the evil one refused to come out of its shell
waiting joyful for injustice
but to no avil.

This is the only part I can remember from the poem. It was written by Nosa Bello, one of my high school pal who, like me likes writing, poems, etc. This was written on the day we were defeated in a quiz competition sponsored by NNPC in all schools in Benin City, Edo state.

Just One is as great as a Whole

One song can spark a moment
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest
One bird can herald spring
One smile begins a friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each journey
One word must start each prayer
One hope will raise our spirits
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with wisdom
One heart can know what's true
One life can make the difference
You see it's up to YOU!"

Orientation Welcome Party Hosted by the Sophomores

It was another "bamb" yesterday as old students welcomed the new students with a dance party. You just could have been there. The first party held at the new cafeteriate in the new campus. Nothing has been more memorable.

I saw people I never knew could dance. People like Adunie, Azeezat, and Toyin. No one was more crazy than Hafsatu who had to pull her shoes when the music became more intoxicating, while others immetated her.

Well I can't write more now because class starts tomorrow. There is no time to waste this semester because it's gonna be tough.

Second Class Berbecue Dinner; that D day

Yesterday, the stage was set
melodious music sprayed the air waves
preparing a welcoming atmosphere
it was a dinner
the president Berbecue dinner

New students were there
their families were there
all being welcomed
as would an august guest
no doubt they were really augustus

a welcome speech and a dinner only
that only it was
but I saw something different
an inspirational terrain of how the day would be

That day above which no more assignment
were writing reflection papers would have become an old story
were studeying for class would be no more
and series of baptismal pop up good morning quizes would have been burried

that day when I sahll begin to say I am a member of the AAUN alumni
that day when I shall put on my red and green gown
matching gloriously to the pupit
to bagging my honors
it shall be a day of joy
and sadness shall not prevail
It shall be a day to remember
that day shall be a D day.

Dee Day Dat Doze Deadly Dos Dat Do
Dim Don't Do Du.. Du..Du...Duu Da Da Da Da Ha..ha.. ha
I'm sorry, I'm a little bit crazy at times
