Grandmother's snack_
God knows how much
I miss Grandma's snacks
Those palm fruits that colours the incisors
Palm kernels that wars with the jaws
Fresh coconut that romances the tongue
Oh yummy yummy!
Reminiscence of grandmother's snacks
Only but make me salivate about
the unripe roasted plantain that stresses throat
Roasted dry corn guns the week teeth that dare
Kola nut that browns the teeth
How can I forget my grandma's snacks?
Bitter kola which cures ailments
an antidote even to deadly poison
Fresh cassava tuber
That ''belly-fulls'' all grandmother's grandchildren.**
