Mmeso Inspires: Imagination

I met the perfect man,

He is good looking and wealthy,

Most importantly, Elele…

He is kind and trustworthy,

He is everything I have always wanted,

He is the perfect man for me and the perfect father for my unborn kids,

What more can I ask for?

He has assets and landed properties across the country,

He had wine and dine with kings,

He is one of the richest and promising young men of Betu state,

No scandal attached to his name,

He came from a good family background,

Tell me Elele,

What more can I ask for in a man?

I will tell you how we met, Elele…

It was a on a rainy day,

I was walking dejectedly on the road,

Hungry and frustrated with life,

Without a penny in my pocket.

My perfect man nearly hit me down…

I was so carried out by my own thoughts that I couldn’t even hear the horn,

He quickly came down from his car to admonish me,

But stopped halfway,

He noticed that I was not with my mind because I stood still in the middle of the road,

He dragged me out of the road…

To himself perhaps,

That’s how our love story started.

Please call me back to oblivion, Elele,

Perhaps with a cup of cold water,

Because Imagination want to drag my soul away,

My house chores are staring at me right in the face,

And here I am smiling and thinking of a perfect man which seems far away,

Oh… I left a pot of soup on fire.

Mama Isigwe will skin me alive today,

Two years later,

I walked down the aisle with my perfect man.

My Imagination has played before me, Elele.

Right now I won’t have to sit down and fantasize,

I will not have to burn my soup again or worry about Mama Isigwe,

Because my perfect man is right beside me.

Right now,

I can drag my Imagination away.
