A GOVERNMENT DRIVER ON HIS RETIREMENT By Chibuike Onu – Poem

A government driver on his retirementis a poem written by Chibuike Onu. So below is the poem according to how it was written.

 

• Many years on wheels
• In faithful service to his fatherland
• Today retires he home
• And a celebration he holds

 

•   Many years has he pummeled his boozy throat          
• In obedience to duty rules and regulations
• Today, he’ll go home a freeman
• Eligible for his country’s services

 

•   “Come friends, rejoice with me
• I shall booze and zoom myself home                       
• Away from duty rules
• Come celebrate my freedom”
• “Early to duty tomorrow holds not,
• Thirty-five years of faithful services
• I’ll booze to sleep away my sufferings                     
• Today I’ve long waited for”

 

•   More joy to send him home
• A brand new car in his name
• An appreciative symbol
• For undented thirty years of service to fatherland      

 

•   “Come friends, and rejoice more,
• Joy till no more joy to joy
• Today frees and makes me a king
• My patience rewarded.”

 

•   And so, he boozed and boozed                             
• Celebrating the celebration of his retirement
• From faithful service to fatherland
• He battled with his bottle booze
• On his way home on wheels,
• Booze boozed his vision and clear judgment               
• He boomed his brand new car
• And it sent him home
• Home to rest in peace.
