Bala Sambo Poems

The Departure
The departure is a day away,
For a while you came to stay,
And soon you will bid me adieu,
...

Unlucky Sailor
Fair-weather was the acme of a sailor's desire
And so determined he set to capture an empire
Time and tide controlled the waves of the ocean
...

Had I the heaven's golden ornaments
And the green apples therein
Unto you shall I spray them
Who, but you should I love
...

Turn wheresoever I may,
By night or day,
I find that this is the moment,
I long for with excitement.
...

Hope ye always seeketh to bring for us all
In the autumn or the spring you love us all
Like an angel you seeketh to serve us all
Living for others expecting nothing at all
...

Shame to the boxer, who lost a fight,
He'd never dare raise-up his head.
Shame to the team that staged a looser,
It'd never dare rise up its head.
...

I love to be myself all the time,
And loathe to wear mask any time.
Whether I've a million or a dime,
I love to be myself all the time.
...

OH! Woman
You say you don't wanna cook
Come over here and have a look
There is somebody who's a crook
...
