"ALTHOUGH I have said in the past that next year’s presidential contest will be a short in the dark..." ( F. Kperogi)

“Come writers and critics

Who  prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no telling who that it's namin'

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin' “ (Bob Dylan)

Even with political sooth-sayers, sometimes, but not always, shit happens and happened recently, in print, the unrevised version in Nigeria's national newspapers throughout the land:

"ALTHOUGH I have said in the past that next year’s presidential contest will be a short in the dark…

Really, Professor Kperogi?

Evidently (according to the printed evidence)

sometimes, "short" can pass as the longhand for "shot".

A short in the dark indeed.

An old declension: Shit, shat, shot.

Indeed he did

As we say in Nigeria

“One whole professor”

Nota bene: “hole” (as in asshole)

is also spelt “whole”

and is also sometimes inter-changeable

in pronunciation:

For the times they are a-changing

The way the crow flies

so too the ears hear

the mouth speaks

the pen writes

Her Majesty's English

and as Chief Aluko usually signs off

“And there you have it!”
