THE PRIZE FOR THE TWO

By G. Naih Peter, Torit, South Sudan

–

They were very good

friends until they realised

that the lady was so beautiful

to ignore or sit on fence.

–

Blame them not,

but ‘am much pitiful

Of them for all was gone

So far between them.

–

They put all on stake,

They didn’t see her so fake,

In eyes she was a hot cake

That none ignore for love sake.

–

They seemed to all thrive,

The lady was so smart,

It was so easy to play even five,

All point at her like in dart.

–

She was a sure bet,

That men go for in soccer,

Her thighs catwalks than a hawker

Though mouth speak spikes that deter.

–

So good she is, no surprise,

But two best friends got a prize,

The one they didn’t called for,

She was gone as they remained foes.
