Rent for Mom
By Wilson Orhiunu
With no tenancy agreement
I took up residence
No bills to pay
free food all day
I had peace
and great contentment
I had no gain full employment
You didn�t kick me out
I slept, grew fat
You eat, grew fat
And I never
once paid the rent
Tell me, where do I send the rent
My mother, who I love.
Nine months harboured
and then laboured.
Please charge interest
to your contentment.
