SEXTON AND MUEZZIN

SEXTON AND MUEZZIN
By
Muhammad Mahmud Yarima (Nakumbo)

Poor sexton and muezzin
His big ringing bell’s broken
Muezzin’s minaret’s blown down
Pow! In Jos on its earth surface rrrrawn!
All are result of the misnomer
You create and give to each other
Turning your church and mosque
Into billet; preventing Billy and Bolsk
From having minuet and hug,
Decant calmness into your mug
And have a pretty froth of peace
That’ll make your tolerance increase;
Let’s invite people friendly in-
To our homes without a fiendish grin
