Palmwine Poem by David Adeyemo

Palmwine



I arrived in the forest
I met the forest lord
He offers me bush meat
I am not here to hunt for bush meat

I journey deep down the ocean
I met the queen of the coast
She offers me fish to eat
I am not here to fish either

On my way back home
I met the palm wine tapper
He gave me some wine to drink
Sozzled and blotto I got home
And then I forget my sorrow
