TOLU'S DIARY

TUESDAYS 10AM

Dear diary,

I know you've missed me

I'm back to serve you better

Just as my black ink looks great on this diary,

I want to tell you black is beautiful

Motherland Africa is a beauty to behold

My black skin never deteriorate

I can turn my black to white

Whites can't try that, the effect is termed ' Cidal '

From Naija to Nairobi,

We are blessed with wildlife which made life wide

Depth of black in its bitumen...we have our colour from Agbabu

Sun so in love with our continent,

Out of it's furnace made the strongest

Alas! The 'white limo' comes with black tyres

Hmmm...it's certainly imperfect without the black

In the pack of cards 🃏 the king is inscribed with black

Black panther.. 🙅 yet in long distance races we don't pant

On the runway the skinny black model stands out

In love with this colour black,

We all hail ' Madiba lives forever '

I'm proud to be an African,

I'm made of black,

21st on my diary is my birthday,

You are advised to come in black Benz

See you later folks,

This episode ends with the black dot.
