We sang a dirge But no tears to bid farewell. We dug a grave But no place to place a casket. We erected a cenotaph But no place to lay a wreath. Sorrow clapped with one hand. Rays of tragedy raced with one leg To unlock the gate of tomb. Town Crier's gong rendered       sounds of sadness To inform the confounded cenacle. Will your pen still pen a farewell? Will your ink speaks for itself? Will the diarists still hear your voice? You slumber till eternity. But you will not die again.

BELATED THRENODY: for Prof. Pius Adesanmi
We sang a dirge But no tears to bid farewell. We dug a grave But no place to place a casket. We erected a cenotaph But no place to lay a wreath. Sorrow clapped with one hand. Rays of tragedy raced with one leg To unlock the gate of tomb. Town Crier's gong rendered       sounds of sadness To inform the confounded cenacle. Will your pen still pen a farewell? Will your ink speaks for itself? Will the diarists still hear your voice? You slumber till eternity. But you will not die again.
