Micaela by S. A. David

Ah!
Oh!
Micaela left me for Joel
I wallowed in flabbergastation
At the hour which was a day to Noel
It was like an excruciating castration
As she voiced her deep belly
That I am not like her new boo
That Joel gave her many a flashy mint
And I am just a pen
But for Micaela I trimmed flat my belly
To my ears her voice was a pleasant coo
For her stream, I gave my red pint
Yet she ceased to be my hen

She was single in September
She dated Dayo in October
She enjoyed a civil union with Albert in November
She cherished her domestic partnership with Adichie in December
While single she kissed Cole in same September
While with Dayo she was engaged to Onyeaka in same October
While with Albert she almost married Alhaji Idris in same November
While with Adichie I met and loved her in same December

I wrote Micaela many poems
I parceled her many a scented flower
I wanted to dedicate her many my books
I gifted her a fine diamond ring
She said she loved the poems
She hung my flowers in her tower
She loved my pure looks
She took my ring and yet gave me a ding

She was in Aba in January
And fled to Abiriba in February
Relocated to Chibok in March, to sleep
In April, saga drove her to Enugu so deep
May Day saw her flying to Calabar to dance
June saw her in Lokoja 'cause 'alabar was a horrible trance
In July she projected to Ikoyi to settle
And Ebola drove her to Benin to resettle

I'm looking for Micaela
If I don't find Micaela,
I will keep searching for Micaela
Where is my Micaela?
You may know Micaela
You may have met Micaela
Your sister may be Micaela
Your daughter may be Micaela
Your mother may be Micaela
Do you know my Micaela?
I still love Micaela
And I'm looking for my Micaela
