The African Poetry: ''A Government Driver on his Retirement" by Onu Chibuike - SS2 Literature Lesson Note

Many years on wheels
 In faithful service to his fatherland
 Today retires he home
 And a celebration he holds
  
 Many years has he pummeled his boozy throat           
 In obedience to duty rules and regulations
 Today, he’ll go home a freeman
 Eligible for his country’s services
  
 “Come friends, rejoice with me
 I shall booze and zoom myself home                        
 Away from duty rules
 Come celebrate my freedom”
 “Early to duty tomorrow holds not,
 Thirty-five years of faithful services
 I’ll booze to sleep away my sufferings                      
 Today I’ve long waited for”
  
 More joy to send him home
 A brand new car in his name
 An appreciative symbol
 For undented thirty years of service to fatherland       
  
 “Come friends, and rejoice more,
 Joy till no more joy to joy
 Today frees and makes me a king
 My patience rewarded.”
  
 And so, he boozed and boozed                              
 Celebrating the celebration of his retirement
 From faithful service to fatherland
 He battled with his bottle booze
 On his way home on wheels,
 Booze boozed his vision and clear judgment                
 He boomed his brand new car
 And it sent him home
 Home to rest in peace.
