I look at you all over And you flash you teeth Glowingly like sunlight I look at you all over And you swing your waist Gracefully like moonlight It is not to detest But to attest That I look at you all over Contours and crest This twin – balusters Of your front – yard So splendidly erected Their jingles are like belfry’s Beckoning me to the gallery Of a master- hand The gothic threshold Of your courtyard So assiduously engraved I can’t wait to traverse its loft That bay of your backyard So opulently baroque I behold it is there our world revolves I look at you all over With thought not impure I only revere The strokes of the rare sculptor. © Lanre Adebayo
