TOLU'S DIARY

TUESDAYS 10AM

Hey diary,

I came through with a poem this week titled ‘Friend’. I know you want to know about my ideal friend. Read and share your views afterwards.

Chuck! Chuck!!  Chuck!!!

She is an epitome of excellence and gladness.

When I say ha…she knows I'm about to say happiness.

Life they say is like a roller coaster;

With her it’s like a helicopter.

Ding dong! Ding dong!! Ding dong!!!

I don’t need to ask, she is the one at the door.

I know her so much even when she is at war.

Just like cattle and cattle egret we live in tandem.

We were configured and set up like the city of the lord called Jerusalem.

Like a dual SIM we are twins from different parents.

On our home to excellence, we will never pay a rent.

Roar! Roar!! Roar!!!

She doesn’t hesitate to chastise me whenever I'm  going astray.

I learn from her because of my teach-ability skill and I never flare.

Like Tom and Jerry we slog it out, despite that we, have a common goal.

She is so precious to me, she is more than the mineral resources mined in Udi Hills called coal.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Friendship is a choice, we are friends indeed.
