A Chat
Good day sir
were you not the doctor?
No! not I
Then the journalist
wielding his pen before the storm
No! I never was
Perhaps the lawyer
chanting the course of the unlucky
No!
Maybe the clergy
teaching the masses what they will never learn
No! Not I
you remind me of my southern brothers
perhaps the wine tapper
No! The West is where I know
Then the Western warlord
great one of the Osun Valley
No! that was my brother, not I
Please help this confused cadavar
where from do I know this man?
I was the Auditor
The Auditor?
Oh goodness, the auditor
whoelse is there that can tell a truth?
