My Encounter With Robbers On The 1/4/2025 Poem by Stephen akogbeto (Steve Rae)

I sat down after studying maths,
This topic baffling me *'polynomials'*
I heard a knock on the door
Who was that, should I open or, .......

A peep through the window,
I saw three men
Saying that, 'they are being chased'
My mission now is to get them saved.

I opened the door
Immediately one brought out a gun
Yeee I would have followed my parents
To the crossover vigil into the month of April.

Where is the money
Asked the one with a gun
No money sir
They began to search

Two of them searched the house
They only came across a mouse
The other stood with me
Pointing his weapon at me.

Started raining questions
My name and occupation
Stephen sir- poet, singer and actor,
Other two were still in search action

Obviously they found nothing
Except a thousand naira
Kept for precautionary motive
It was a gift to me as an incentive

Suddenly, I felt to fight,
The one with me
But how do I do
Writing a letter to..... Hmm

Since other two were invisible,
I became invincible
But i have no cannon
I'm a poet, only using canon

I made attempt
Dragged his leg
Started pouring blows on him
He guard his gun bt became so timid like a nymph.

Others heard the noise
To the spot they rushed
I was beaten so much
I cried so much.

Furious that they saw nothing
And for my dull-smartness
My left leg was bleeding
Like a goat I was bleating

The one with the gun recovered
The other two became powered
He shoots my leg.... Ohhhhhhh
_APRIL FOOL_


OH 😂🤣 You read it finish
All I want to say is
*HAPPY NEW MONTH*

April's arrival, a gentle breeze,
Soft petals unfolding, warm sunshine tease,
Hope renewed, as winter's chill departs
Spring's sweet symphony, within our hearts.
