Since I became your spouse the snob of society became meaningless.
Of course, you ought to know, I voted you my President.
The trees stopped dropping their leaves.
Yes, I gave you a garden of evergreens.
But the birds have not stopped singing.
Because my griots serve you with perpetual interest.
Witness now my name on every lip in the country.
No surprise! I jammed their wavelength with my broadcasts.
I never went hungry.
Not since I became your daily bread.
Never went thirsty either.
How can you when my forest well has been reserved for you only?
Nor have I been lonely.
No darling, I gave you a piece of me to take everywhere.
Even when I bought no jewels for you?
Honey, what can be more precious than your teeth in smiles?
Can heaven be different from what I know?
What you allow me to share is a foretaste of heaven.
So, for better for worse?
I’ll be the code for your conduct.
For richer for poorer?
I’ll be your tax collector.
In sickness and in health?
I will drug you on.
Is this how we pray today?
And everyday.
Aaaaah men!
