One Chance Poem by Raimi Babatunde

The God of my mother
The God of my grandfather
And the God of my great grand mother
Infact, plus the God of myspiritualist
I call upon you today
Please deliver me

It was a joke oh!
I saw her and liked her
Or maybe, I wanted her in the list
She wanted a committal
And I allowed my third leg control me
Now i am in big trouble
God please help me

There is a casanova in every virile man
But this day, I entered one chance
I sent her a request
She accepted willingly
From clap we entered dance
I touched her small
She touched me back
Then she paused

At the gate of heaven
I swore on my life I was single
Who says otherwise with honey pot in view
We rocked and rolled
Planned the future that never was
She got blinded by love
And I for what I wanted

Fast forward to dawn
It was a fantastic weekend
With memorable memories
We went all the way
With so much energy in us
We stopped at nothing
Until we both climaxed

"I need to go now", she said
I obliged and picked my keys
Go straight; left; centre
"Restricted Area", personels only
I was dumbfounded, yet calm
"Enter the gate", she suggested
It was Army Barrack!

As we moved northwards
The sounds of "Morning Sir" rented the air
Still confused, I looked on
She smiled back and returned all salutes
Suddenly, I felt a chill with in
It's like I have entered "One Chance"

My wife called
Confirmed her arrival and the kids
Just in seven days time
The conversation ended abruptly with wify
Meanwhile, "She" did not code
She smiled and said "Are you surprised? "
"Not at all, I love you scatter I retorted"

Do you know what!
I just dropped Captain Pretty!
Now she calls till dawn
I don't know what to say
She wants to visit the next weekend
I just wanted to browse "oh"
See where I found myself!
What happens to my family?
How do I tell Captain I lied?

Am I already dead?
Should I go and get born again, again?
Should i tell her?
Or should I report to the Police?
Please don't leave me now
Of a truth they say
Surely, there is a reward for every act
Now, I am very confused
Please my elders, say something
