'Exit of the Stranger' By Adesina Ogunlana

‘Lisa, was, ah, sweet,
yummy, fast and smart,
and, don’t forget, light
and, of course, bright.

‘Lisa came y’ know,
at the time right
more like a bolt
with zest and gilt

From far ’Lisa eyed the seat,
and quick became the chap to heat
and soon won the fight
so to a stranger went our fleet.

But, strangers never stay
never! frays or no frays
strangers never stay

If I lie, tell me,
tell me, when next in the bar
you’ll ever see ‘Lisa
anytime after Abuja!
any time after now!
Oh, Lisa!
