Gbadebo told me he would GBADEBO,
Unfortunately, I was also waiting for him to GBADEBO,
Off I went, ahead with my basket,
I wouldn't want to be late for our love banquet.

I waited six days and six nights,
Sitting solemnly under the sunlight,
Thinking of the reason I was kept waiting,
Just then, I heard footsteps, so light but it sounded like drums of joy.

Alas it wasn't GBADEBO,
But that only made me worried,
People dressed in ceremonial attire,
Heading towards the village square,
In twos, groups, they came, trooping in.

Not long after, I heard the real drums of joy,
Sounding like the ones in love banquets,
But.... It was meant to be my love banquet,
Out of, curiosity I ran to check,
As expected, I saw GBADEBO with his ADE,
All my days of patience were for naught.
