Correction Poem Ibadan

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Ibadan

O f Africa , city and Empire

Of Fajembola and Falola

Of banjo Vc

 bow, morning by morning

And Oyediran, vc

O yes!

He leadeth me!!

  Ibadan Of  Salami,shootin and Star

and Scala, suya and Sabo

Of Amala  ,,Alafia and Alluvial

And Gbegiri,pedigree and degree

Ibadan of tribune,liberty and thunder

And television ways, waves and wonder

Ibadan of  brain gain, cocoa brain

 barns , bar and beer

Ibadan of  sputnik space signals 

Severally sensed ,  saved and sent to  NASA

Ibadan of molete, molecules, Ewedu hue

And strictly lads only to follow  Oloolu

Ibadan of men ,myth, might and mango 

And Aje igbin yoo

Ibadan of corrugated rust

And town design conundrum

Ibadan,cantilevers no cracks

Ibadan dazzles
