ARREST AND ESCAPE OF BOA (Part One)

ARREST AND ESCAPE OF BOA



PART ONE ( Narrative Poem))



In Akan kingdom of dark Africa,

All the birds once had a dilemma;

By that thievish snake, that serpent Boa

Nests of eggs and birdies were depleted.

Mothers wept and fathers felt defeated.

T’was utter sorrow, bitter misery,

When that rascal crept marauding slimy,

Uncoil’d , slithering ,silently sliding,

Among the sleepy leaves and tender branches

To seek and rape the birds their cradled charges.



In desperation, there was a feather’d meeting,

Each kiind to send a single delegate,

Some birds sent only a hurried greeting.

The turkeys and egrets did not bother.

Alighted in discomfort on the ground,

Insecure , nervous, worried looked around.

While the wise owl sleepily presided.

“To save us from depredation complete ,

Capture that vagabond we must, I repeat,”

Chirped most clearly the dainty nightingale.

“Arrest him we must!” screamed the pitcharie,

With wings and angled tail aggressively.

“To that we agree most seriously!”



“Who!” the old sleepy owl morosely asked,

“Would dare attempt such a perilous task?”

“Not I !” hooted Lieutenant Chantileer .

In colourful uniform his plume in air,

Proudly he chuckled and soldierly strutted.

Said the eagle, balefully observing,

“Boa dares not enter my citadel.

I built on the edge of a lofty cliff.

Birds ought to take better care of children,

Or incapable, should not have any!”


The carrion crow was more generous,

“Execute Boa and I do promise,

His burial I’ll freely undertake ,

Without charging even a single cent.”

“To –wit- to- whoo! Oh-ooh! What shall we dooo?"

Gavell’d the wise old owl most drowsily.


Anansi, Spider, African legend,

On a nearby limb he slyly intent,

To listen to the feathery conference,

“Ah-ah! Oh-oh! I see! Boa to bell!

But none want to tangle that son from Hell!

Here comes Anansi, I your wily hero,

He will terrify the fearless terror.

For this task, you birds need no reference.

Everyone knows Anansi in essence,

He does not use force but his brainy vim,”

So Spiderman sang and danced on a limb.




Down from leafy perch by a silken rope,

Descended he amidst the squabbling throng.

“You got a serious stalemate,” he said,

“It’s a deadlock, to lose more eggs , I swear,

“Your race will be exterminated, stone dead,

If I Anansi Spiderman the great ,

To ask you do much longer hesitate

To bring that slipp’ry, slimy snake to boot,

Right action I will forever defend,

Trick’ry I enjoy, thiev’ry I do hate!

Yeah! justice must be quickly done, I moot,

Then let it be quickly done , do have no fear.

That thief I shall bring to you for trial.

But I, your sheriff, need to have expense,

Rewards make the world go round, no offence,"



"Who will surely pay?" asked the woodpecker,

"Of course, we will!" cooed the timid pigeon.

"Service to pay is honest religion."

“Ah-ah! Oh-oh!” laughed the gaudy rooster,

“A wild, scaly , snake caught by a spider!

I’’ll bet my boots I solemnly declare,

If snake dines not on you silly critter!”



“Two bags corn I bet against your wager!”

Declared Anansi he slyly smiling.

“If you will also bet your gaudy pants.”

“Yes!” chirped the parrot most excitedly,

Give the wagers to dear wise owl to hold!”

“ I heartily agree ,” the gambler crowed,

And he gaily took off his boots and pants.



“Tomorrow I shall bring two bags of corn.”

Promised the Spiderman most merrily.

But when the old drowsy owl fell asleep,

He secretly stole the lieutenant’s bet.

Soon the gambler began to fuss and fret.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
