A Poem about Unilag Lagoon Front.

Unilag Lagoon Front

we come here to watch the lagoon
Dance to the soft melodies of the wind,
the sun too, overhanging us,
sneaks a glance or two from behind the sailing clouds.

this lagoon front is being overrun by overconfident bushes,
a trickle of confident couples
and a horde of shy crabs.
Red crabs with their huge tentacles
clawing at the floor,
ready to make this funny run into their burrows at the slightest feel of noise.

students always have a way of giving cognomens to places,
Like calling a garden 'love garden',
In this school, everywhere is a love garden.
Little wonder why couples
come here to frolic,
No wonder the mosquitoes
prefer to mate here.
