ODE- 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SCHOLAR SENAMI' BY AJAKAYE STRIDA.

Happy Birthday to SCHOLAR SENAMI,

AJAKAYE STRIDA wishes you long life in prosperity,

a woman smart and steady as leaves on water,

her mind so kind,

always in the joy of being an Angel to her society,

such a favorite student of Sociology and Philosophy,

Miss Senami is so accommodating and logical a Beauty.

Her arms wide in the air as a bird,

her attitude so natural, and distinctive like a different creature

my pen hasn't found its name, 

all over the universe.

If only today isn't so busy for you...

I would write an eponymous anthology and title it 'SCHOLAR SENAMI',

the words you want, you tell me,

the best of words I shall write for SENAMI,

I would take a brick and carve out SENAMI,

I would go to England to fetch the best chariot for SCHOLAR SENAMI,

oh thy SCHOLAR SENAMI!

A well baked lady,

a well stirred woman,

a magical mother in LASU and afar,

is today your day, or your day is today?

God loves you, today is everyday for you.

This is not just Literature,

for the world shall serve your positive movements,

you will look at the sky so comfortably as Angels do,

the gates of challenges shall open locks for you,

all by the strength of The Almighty God.
