Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - My Morning Testimony (Poem)

Brother Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju,

Think positive! You see, there is hope yet for more poetry

and her name is Sista Gloria in Excelsis Emeagwali!

Don't give up the fight, even if you have to travel to Connecticut  to hear it, to make more dreams come true…

As you may or may not know, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach". From that point of view, just as I said, there's hope yet. Impressive poets, yes - and there are all kinds of poets and poetry, but as for me, I would like to read more poetry from Sista Gloria in Excelsis Emeagwali.  I am already salivating just reading what she has to say about raising the libido- raising ingredients. I have been missing that good old Yoruba home-cooking for far too long, especially my favourite dish, moin-moin  ( I mean the real moin-moin, and there's nothing that beats the original)  - but for now, just listen to her and start salivating with your great expectations, the ingredients of tha love-potion:  a dash of

rhino horn

some magnesium

(for the magnetic gyrations,

 as Chidi has so poetically put it

 "The dance of the groin")

 rich okra soup and

 zinc - packed ogbono,

groundnut and egusi soups

She could well add  what the Hausa man calls  "Ga-gai" directly from Saminaka

Bello, my Hausa friend from Samineke (the upper Eastern corner of Borno State) assured me that "She will need to place a glass of cold water by the bedside table" before you begin the begin….

Appreciator of the Booty mystique, wink, wink, you know what I mean?

I think that Chidi can outrightly reject this erroneous notation / turn of phrase in what is meant in Afolayan not so felicitous turn of phrase,

"After five decades

of numerous conjugal trips"

Since Chidi is just a few days older than half a century it's a poetic hyperbole (granted) that the urchin started doing business when his piece of wood was still covered by a nappy

 AS for those who have been at it, without let-up, for more than half a century, as my lecherous friend from California usually tells the young Swedish ladies,

It's the old violin that makes the sweetest music…

After five decades

of numerous conjugal trips

and the many nefarious affairs

the libido begins to wear thin

the woman must have lost

the amorous bedroom whisper

and the whiff of the woman

no longer hit the nostril...

the clock would crow

at twilight in vain

because the bones creak

loudest at that moment

and sleep is better than

the dance of the groin!

By Chidi Anthony Opara

A whiff of my female

Hit my nostrils in the darkness,

I snuggled to her,

Her arms enveloped me.

I whispered into her ear

She giggled,

She whispered into mine,

I grinned.

We danced 

The dance of the groin

Till the cock crowed.
