THE TOAST

And then,

To this toast,

Us all, he invited.

And in numbers

To this glorious event

Garnish,

Like soldier ants

We crawled.

Fanfares of brilliance

This domed event

Adorned,

And reverberations

Of satisfactions, surprises,

And congratulations,

The earth quaked.

Gaiting through this

Shoes,

Polishing this sprouting

Echo,

And hard work’s sweaty rivers

In jubilant gongs,

The ancestors with

Chimed glasses of Palmie

Amidst kola nuts

And giants grins,

Belched.

If today on this

Pedestal

Tall you stand,

It is because

On the shoulders

Of giants,

You stood

And the line, kowtowed.

Hurrah to this hefty

Achievement,

Hurrah to setting the

Pace,

Hurrah to this beautiful

Toast…
