Lazy Language Poem by Haruna Garba
Lazy Language
How dare them be Dons of it?
And Hausa has countless dons
With lexicography to put to shame
Not a single dictionary up to date
Degrees and Diplomas concocted
Recipes from indigestible vegetables
A-Z it should be without a miss
Not mere translation of English
Is no layman's job to put together
The Dons could duly cry about cost
Could cry absence of tycoons' hands
It is no state affair to dabble in this
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
