TRIBUTE TO MOTHERHOOD

I guess it all starts after that memorable wrestling match  

A victorious athlete swims and hit the mark

Baby bump downloaded and morning sickness activated 

Every now and then Jet Li gives his taishi kicks

Nine long months is the journey to delivery

The process itself is another phobia to overcome

Nurses barking out instruction and calling you lazy ass

The doctor adjusts his glasses and extracts the kung fu master

Tears of joy stream down mama's face

Daddy smiles as he beholds the result of his penalty kick

The hospital chapter closes and everyone goes home

Little does mama know that the road end is just a bend

I imagine how fed up she gets when Bruce Lee cries for no reason

Two hours on the boobs and still screaming for more without ceasing

Mama's dry, she stares, ogbeni ! Don't you understand?

But it seems her ipod's connected to free stream from Jackie Chan's cry wi-fi

Cuddling and petting her jewel to quiet down and sleep all day

She gets repaid by endless wails when she tries resting at night

Its here I pass my kudos to all great mamas out there

How do you multi-task bee-keeping, sorry, motherhood, career and being a good house-wife?

How do you cope with pausing your career to concentrate on nursing?

How do you manage the stress of changing diapers everywhere?

How do you get over that insensitive husband who comes home, clamours for food and snore all through the night?

Daddy, if you're reading this, I never give person belle

Real practicals around a nursing mum has sharpened my insight

The baby becomes a lady and thinks mama's old school

Two miserable pimples on the chest and boil behind makes you think you've arrived

Becoming too big for some chores? Faraburukubale !and let momma walk you down memory lane

I once saw a lady slap her mum cause momma refused to spare the rod

Hmph!....Itakuta ni guruguru fii n ta kuro ninu agbada

Kobale kobale ni labalaba fii n re wo gbo

There's no need for Elijah to come tell her she's cursed

How do I know? Exodus 20:12 says that's a rape of honour !

Groom, be careful to know her well before you slip her that ring !

Else, the closed womb problem might be feigning enemy attack

You can't marry a man without a car, well that's your problem

Your dad was yet to cruise when he met the love of his life

Your mum recognised that C.E.O when he had just one shirt

Your career's prioritized over that unborn baby you wanna flush it down the toilet

Remember, you're alive to think it cause mama didn't do you same

She chose to let you live not because it was easy but despite the fact that it was hard

On behalf of all the men out there, I appreciate all mums for a great job welldone and today, I choose to give honour to whom honour's due
