CUT ME A CAKE

BY

       E.I. EMEKA

At my first 'nya nya', cut me a cake

At my first 'dada', cut me a cake

At my first 365, cut me a cake 

At my first scholar’s journey, cut me a cake

At my first report card, cut me a cake

At my first jamb-mania, cut me a cake

At my first mortarboard throw, cut me a cake

At my first swearing in, cut me a cake

At my first sent away, cut me a cake

At my first home coming, cut me a cake

At my first white-collar, cut me a cake 

At my first promotion, cut me a cake

At my first ‘you may kiss the bride’, cut me a cake

At my first jigi-jigi revealed, cut me a cake

At my first push and cry, cut me a cake 

At my first golden year, cut me a cake

At my first doddering, cut me a cake

At my second toothless, cut me a cake

At my last summoned assembly, cut me a cake

And at my adieu, please cut me a cake
