"House by the Lagoon" by Jahismine O."
Let me start from the front of the back to the back of the front
Where dry leaves are falling and there lies a signboard saying "Beware! Coconuts are falling"
Where my mates take their babe to, to sit on a pavement and tarry for night to give romance an encouragement
The Lagoon Front, the extreme of the extremes where extremists can see the beauty of the 3rd Mainland Bridge but can't see the extreme
Let me move forward to the building where giants are born and tortoises run forward
Where books are laid to rest and woken by housemates that want for themselves the best
The Library, my shield shielded against the shield of any course siege
I walk further to the seat of power where power is powered and used for the powering of both the powerful and the powerless
A tall building that provides for both the strong and weak, yeah! A long staircase for the strong and a Lift Case for the weak
The Senate Building, that has a rare beauty of which can only be seen when standing on a cliff
Lest I forget, let me tell you about a podium in the house where legends stand and will continue to stand
A building that builds confidence in speakers and speakers speak with confidence in their body building
The Main Auditorium, your sweet fragrance will always be on my body to show the world your sweetness
Running through time on my bicycle of words, I've got to mention a place where Legends lay their heads and their heads become branded
I talk of three, two and one. Three boys living together, two boys leaving tomorrow and one boy crying because of the first two happenings
Jaja Hall of Residence, A place where the adjective "Strong" goes through comparative and superlative in the life of the weak
Walking through the tick of seconds, let me also tell you a flat. A pride with no price because those who live in here are priceless
A Hall Holding together the togetherness and hiding perfectly the perfection of God on my opposite sex
Moremi Hall! a hall where those with skirts and shirts roll out from in the day and those with tanks and bumshorts roll out from in the night
Even though looking ancient and I don't know the ancestry history but I know of a building with a problem of an unknown history
Often considered the problem of every housemates. I read the lips of my mates about this building, their sayings I can't say on this place
CITS, the thoughness of your gates has been made weak, thanks to the struggle of housemates who line in front of you every problematic week
Fast forwarding to where glories of feet are rewarded. Where men men the men and some clean up their mess
A compound in the compound compounded for compound sports
The Sport Centre, where trophies are raised to show the bird that flies at the moment of sport celebrations
In this house, there lies a place where disobedient housemates read the book of Lamentations and others learn a lesson to keep calm in all situations
Alpha Base! The fear of you is the beginning of wisdom and the experience of you is the beginning of normalcy
Then I move out to the front of fronts that fronts the fronts of futures. A design designed to welcome new housemates into the designing yard of designs.
I bow in front of you forgetting the third commandment, because you are the frontage of a beautiful compartment
The UNILAG Gate, where there lies a signboard "WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS"
I remain
