Countryman's Story At The Bar (Ballad)
The man came home a little late, rushed to the kitchen, checked on empty pots. he'd drove pass bars and restaurants for he knew she's home. he was so hungry and his stomach hurts She said, hey, darling, what are you looking for? if you want something to eat go find yourself something nice for I'm so tired I couldn't eat His jaw dropped in awe as she said, darling, I'm so tired I forgot I'm a dame. my boss asked much from me, today and tomorrow might be worse, for that's his aim. The country man shook his head and said hey, darling, hey woman this is Nigeria you'd better get your bum up and go fix what I'd eat for this is Nigeria She jumped from her bed mumbling words in the kitchen doing what she's able even as she's tired, she had to hasten up before the countryman falls asleep while watching cable.
