Rainy Day
Because of a little rain,
nowhere to buy credit,
uncleared filth in d drain,
now water's above heel limit.
My cubicle is in the dark,
cast in light when lovers flash,
Flourecent bulbs yield not a spark:
maintenance staff afraid of rainsplash.
Notes:
When it rains in Lagos, and there is no electricity ath the same time, work grinds to a halt and roadside vendors of mobile airtime are nowhere to be found. The light of the phone lights up the dark room when called just long enough to leave the caller ID (Flash), but no reply call because there is no airtime (credit). The rain keeps the maintenance staff from fixing the faulty generator.
