Once Awhile Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Once Awhile



Her beauty comes and go,
Like a twinkling star
Up there in the sky
Or perhaps like lightening
Her beauty is seasonal
Only when she is ready for a function
Only when she is purposely going out
She becomes beautiful
And you think she is Agbani Derigo
Surprise her early in the morning
She won't win Pa James in a beauty contest
At noon, on the road,
Mary-kay and Brazilian hair
Make her the goddess - Genevieve Nnaji
Let her retire in the evening
When Mary Kay shall be washed off
And Brazilian pulled off,
You will know Oshiomole is beautiful
Her irregular beauty
So confusing
Should a man marry a woman
Whose beauty comes up
Only on birthdays and weddings?

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, Rabboni
